Abstract
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a versatile bacterium, presenting a wide variety of virulence factors contributing to intestinal and extraintestinal disease. This paper presents a unique case of Escherichia coli strain exhibiting an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) as determined by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), identified as sequence type 58 (ST58). The strain, isolated from a clinical specimen, displayed unusual characteristics, forming a solid subcutaneous mass and presenting a hypermucoid phenotype. Comprehensive analysis, including whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and conventional serotyping, was conducted to understand the genetic and phenotypic features of this atypical E. coli strain.
