title: Phylogenetic groups and pathogenicity island markers in fecal Escherichia coli isolates from asymptomatic humans in China.
abstract: The study of phylogenetic groups and pathogenicity island (PAI) markers in commensal Escherichia coli strains from asymptomatic Chinese people showed that group A strains are the most common and that nearly half of all fecal strains which were randomly selected harbor PAIs.
