Phylogenetic Group Distribution of Uropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> and Related Antimicrobial Resistance Pattern: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: The phylogenetic classification of Escherichia coli isolates is of great importance not only for understanding the populations of E. coli but also for clarifying the relationship between strains and diseases. The present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of phylogenetic groups, antibiotic susceptibility pattern, and virulence genes among uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) isolated from different parts of Iran through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Several international electronic sources, including Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Embase, were searched (2000-2020) in order to identify the studies compatible with our inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis was performed using the metaprop program in the STATA (version 11) software. Based on our comprehensive sea
