Molecular Epidemiology of 3 Putative Virulence Genes for<i>Escherichia coli</i>Urinary Tract Infection—<i>usp, iha,</i>and<i>iroN</i><sub><i>E. coli</i></sub>
15 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
This study describes the epidemiological association of 3 putative genes for virulence of uropathogenic Escherichia coli; uropathogenic specific protein (usp), a Vibrio cholerae zot gene homologue; IrgA homologue adhesin (iha), a nonhemagglutinating adhesin; and iroN(E. coli), a catechole siderophore receptor homologue. We compared the relative frequency in urinary tract infection (UTI) isolates (n=508), compared...
