a Percent of strains in the 76 most common STs represented in Enterobase that possess an attenuating mutation in at least one gene in the cellulose biosynthesis and pEtN modification operons (data shown for STs with >25% strains having disruptions). b–f Examples of cellulose disruption mutations in the clonal expansion profile of pathogenic E. coli STs (cellulose mutations indicated as red branches). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
