Figure 5

Virulence and resistance among ST131 and non-ST131 Escherichia coli isolates within two ciprofloxacin-resistance groups.

Notes: Box-and-whisker plots show group medians (heavy horizontal bar) and maximum/minimum values (light horizontal bars). P-values determined by Mann–Whitney U test (two-tailed) shown for ST131 vs non-ST131 comparisons when P<0.05. (A) Virulence scores (number of distinct virulence genes) among ST131 vs non-ST131 isolates within each resistance group; (B) resistance (R) scores among ST131 isolates vs non-ST131 isolates within each resistance group.

Abbreviations: VF, virulence factor; ST, sequence type; NST, non-ST.
