E. coli is one of the monitored species in maternity hospitals, being the main etiological agent of urogenital infections, endometriosis, puerperal sepsis, and neonatal diseases. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of E. coli isolates obtained from the maternal birth canal of healthy puerperant women 3\u20134 days after labor. According to whole genome sequencing data, 31 sequence types and six phylogenetic groups characterized the collection containing 53 isolates. The majority of the isolates belonged to the B2 phylogroup. The data also includes phenotypic and genotypic antibiotic resistance profiles, virulence factors, and plasmid replicons. Phenotypic and genotypic antibiotic resistance testing did not demonstrate extensive drug resistance traits except for two multidrug-resistant E. coli isolates. The pathogenic factors revealed in silico were assessed with respect to CRISPR-element patterns. Multiparametric and correlation analyses were conducted to study the interrelation of different pathoadaptability factors, including antimicrobial resistance and virulence genomic determinants carried by the isolates under investigation. The data presented will serve as a valuable addition to further scientific investigations in the field of bacterial pathoadaptability, especially in studying the role of CRISPR\/Cas systems in the E. coli genome plasticity and evolution.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens13110997","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,14]],"date-time":"2024-11-14T09:14:31Z","timestamp":1731575671000},"page":"997","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Interrelation Between Pathoadaptability Factors and Crispr-Element Patterns in the Genomes of Escherichia coli Isolates Collected from Healthy Puerperant Women in Ural Region, Russia"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5646-538X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yulia","family":"Mikhaylova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Research Institute of Epidemiology, Rospotrebnadzor, Novogireevskaya Str., 3a, 111123 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3145-3702","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marina","family":"Tyumentseva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Research Institute of Epidemiology, Rospotrebnadzor, Novogireevskaya Str., 3a, 111123 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8992-4861","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Konstantin","family":"Karbyshev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Research Institute of Epidemiology, Rospotrebnadzor, Novogireevskaya Str., 3a, 111123 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0537-2586","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aleksandr","family":"Tyumentsev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Research Institute of Epidemiology, Rospotrebnadzor, Novogireevskaya Str., 3a, 111123 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Slavokhotova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Research Institute of Epidemiology, Rospotrebnadzor, Novogireevskaya Str., 3a, 111123 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9749-4611","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Svetlana","family":"Smirnova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Scientific Research Institute of Viral Infections \u00abVirome\u00bb, Letnyaya Str., 23, 620030 Ekaterinburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrey","family":"Akinin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Research Institute of Epidemiology, Rospotrebnadzor, Novogireevskaya Str., 3a, 111123 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7409-077X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrey","family":"Shelenkov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Research Institute of Epidemiology, Rospotrebnadzor, Novogireevskaya Str., 3a, 111123 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4228-9044","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vasiliy","family":"Akimkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Research Institute of Epidemiology, Rospotrebnadzor, Novogireevskaya Str., 3a, 111123 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Geurtsen, J., de Been, M., Weerdenburg, E., Zomer, A., McNally, A., and Poolman, J.
