Extended Virulence Genotypes and Phylogenetic Background of<i>Escherichia coli</i>Isolates from Patients with Cystitis, Pyelonephritis, or Prostatitis
10 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
Molecular analysis of 63 Escherichia coli urine isolates showed that pyelonephritis (n=23) and prostatitis (n=17) isolates exhibited more virulence factors (VFs) among the 35 sought than did cystitis isolates (n=23). Several nontraditional VFs--including bmaE (M fimbriae), gafD (G fimbriae), fyuA (yersiniabactin receptor), ireA and iroN (novel siderophore receptors), cvaC (colicin [microcin] V), traT...
