Abstract: Extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) was the main clinical pathogen that had appeared in recent years to cause damage to the immune system of humans and animals. It consisted of a large number of different serotypes that did not cross-react. The seriousness of the infection was due to the fact that most of the infecting bacteria were highly antibiotic resistant. The main types of infection involved in ExPEC, virulence factors, and potential means to combat the infections were discussed.

Key words: extraintestinal pathogenic E.coli, virulence factor, immune response
