Overview

This meeting is postponed. More details to follow.

Scientific meeting organised by Professor Mark Achtman FRS, Professor Kathryn Holt and Professor David Aanensen.

Escherichia includes commensal and invasive E. coli, Shigella, and multiple discrete species. >100,000 Escherichia genomes have been assembled by EnteroBase and 9,500 genomes that represent the entire diversity have been identified, the so-called EcoRPlus collection. Experts on all aspects of Escherichia will convene here to discuss creating an integrated scientific community for annotating the basic population structure of this genus.
