Abstract excerpt
A total of 16 Escherichia coli O6 strains isolated from cases of extraintestinal infections were analysed for the genetic presence and phenotypic expression of fimbrial adhesins (P, S/FIC, type 1), aerobactin and hemolysin. In addition restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of Xbal-cleaved genomic DNA of seven selected strains, separated by orthogonal field alternation gel electrophoresis (OFAGE) were...
