Abstract excerpt
449 E. coli strains obtained from septic infections (124 isolates), urinary tract infections (246) and water (79) were surveyed for S/F1C fimbrial DNA by DNA hybridization and for expression of S fimbriae by enzyme immunoassay. S/F1C fimbrial DNA was detected with greater frequency in septic (35%) and urinary (43%) isolates than in water isolates and was often associated with the O2, O4, O6, O18, O83, and O156...
