ExPEC are present in food, mostly in poultry products. Despite the high burden of ExPEC on human health, their source and impact on food safety are largely unknown. Food-isolated ExPEC carry an abundance of virulence and antibiotic resistance genes and are suggested to have zoonotic potential. Here, ExPEC were characterized for sanitizer tolerance, biofilm formation, antibiotic susceptibility, and adherence to Caco-2 cells (a human intestinal epithelial-derived cell line). The ExPEC used were isolated from poultry meat and from archived collections of poultry and human clinical samples. Overall, low frequency of sanitizer tolerance (2.4%) and biofilm formation (6%) were observed under the test conditions used. The frequency of antibiotic susceptibility was significantly higher (p &lt; 0.05) among human clinical ExPEC (55%) compared to poultry-isolated ExPEC (27.9%). Overall, 62.8% of poultry ExPEC showed adherence to human intestinal epithelia at a level comparable to that of the control enteric pathogen E. coli O157:H7. In summary, the results of this work suggest that the human gastrointestinal tract could serve as a reservoir of high-risk poultry ExPEC if consumed, and, hence, it is a potential source of extraintestinal infections.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms13112603","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,17]],"date-time":"2025-11-17T15:38:09Z","timestamp":1763393889000},"page":"2603","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Characterization of Extraintestinal Pathogenic Escherichia coli from Human Clinical and Poultry Samples"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5266-1746","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manita","family":"Guragain","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Characterization and Intervention for Foodborne Pathogens Research Unit, Eastern Regional Research Center, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Services, Wyndmoor, PA 19038, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lori","family":"Bagi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Characterization and Intervention for Foodborne Pathogens Research Unit, Eastern Regional Research Center, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Services, Wyndmoor, PA 19038, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0759-7597","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yanhong","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Characterization and Intervention for Foodborne Pathogens Research Unit, Eastern Regional Research Center, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Services, Wyndmoor, PA 19038, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0258-6581","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joseph M.","family":"Bosilevac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Meat Safety and Quality Research Unit, U.S. Meat Animal Research Center, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Services, Clay Center, NE 68933, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"134","DOI":"10.1089\/fpd.2007.0087","article-title":"Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli","volume":"4","author":"Smith","year":"2007","journal-title":"Foodborne Pathog.
