To investigate whether uropathogenic\n            <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic>\n            (UPEC) from children who developed pyelonephritis carried specific genetic markers, we generated whole-genome sequence data for 96 isolates from children with UTIs. This included 57 isolates from children with either radiologically confirmed pyelonephritis or cystitis and 27 isolates belonging to the well-known multidrug-resistant sequence type ST131, selected to investigate their population structure and antibiotic resistance characteristics. We observed a UPEC population structure that is similar to those reported in adults. In comparison with prior investigations, we found that the full\n            <jats:italic>pap<\/jats:italic>\n            operon was more common among UPEC from pediatric cases of pyelonephritis. Further, in contrast with recent reports that the P-fimbriae adhesin-encoding\n            <jats:italic>papGII<\/jats:italic>\n            allele is substantially more prevalent in invasive UPEC from adults, we found\n            <jats:italic>papGII<\/jats:italic>\n            was common to both invasive and non-invasive UPEC from children. Among the set of ST131 isolates from children with UTIs, we found antibiotic resistance was correlated with known genetic markers of resistance, as in adults. Unexpectedly, we observed that\n            <jats:italic>fimH<\/jats:italic>\n            30, an allele of the fimbrial gene\n            <jats:italic>fimH<\/jats:italic>\n            often used as a proxy to type ST131 isolates into the most drug-resistant subclade C, was carried by some of the subclade A and subclade B isolates, suggesting that the\n            <jats:italic>fimH<\/jats:italic>\n            30 allele could confer a selective advantage for UPEC.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              Urinary tract infections (UTIs), which are most often caused by\n              <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>\n              , are not well studied in children. Here, we examine genetic characteristics that differentiate UTI-causing bacteria in children that either remain localized to the bladder or are involved in more serious kidney infections. We also examine patterns of antibiotic resistance among strains from children that are part of\n              <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic>\n              sequence type 131, a group of bacteria that commonly cause UTIs and are known to have high levels of drug resistance. This work provides new insight into the virulence and antibiotic resistance characteristics of the bacteria that cause UTIs in children.\n            <\/jats:p>\n
