Abstract:Introduction: Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the major cause of extraintestinal infections in the urinary tracts and bloodstream in humans in the community and health care institutions. Several studies on the genetic characterization of E. coli among clinical and environmental isolates were performed and revealed a wide diversity of sequence types (STs). In Jordan, phenotypic and genetic features of E. coli were extensively studied but there is still a need to identify the STs that inhabit the community.
