Abstract excerpt
A total of 321 uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains and 12 strains of E. coli isolated from stool samples of healthy individuals, which were previously shown to be positive in colony hybridization test using the usp (encoding for the uropathogenic-specific protein) DNA probe, were examined by PCR amplification to determine the size of the usp gene and the pathogenicity island (PI). Three types of size...
