Correspondence factorial analysis of 58 E. coli and Escherichia clade water sample strains. Projection on the F1/F2 plane of the 17 bacterial traits (black diamonds) and 4 survival groups (gray circles): S1, 7 to 14 days; S2, 4 to 6 days; S3, 2 to 3 days; S4, <2 days. Phylogroups A, B1, B2, and D and clade V (Escherichia clade V); minimal growth temperatures, ≥ 20°C and ≥ 7°C. VF: 0, absence of virulence factor; VF: 1, presence of only one virulence factor; VF: 2 to 3, presence of 2 and 3 virulence factors; VF: 4 to 8, presence of 4 to 8 virulence factors; Atb_R3-8, strains resistant to at least 3 antibiotics (multiresistant strains); Atb_R1-2, resistant to one or two antibiotics; Atb_S, susceptible to the 17 antibiotics tested; M: 1, degradation of one macromolecule; M: 2, degradation of two macromolecules; M: 3, degradation of three macromolecules.
