Biofilm formation by asymptomatic and virulent urinary tract infectious<i>Escherichia coli</i>strains
8 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli is the most common organism associated with asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) in humans. In contrast to uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) that cause symptomatic urinary tract infection, very little is known about the mechanisms by which these strains colonize the urinary tract. Here, we have investigated the biofilm-forming capacity on abiotic surfaces of groups of ABU strains and UPEC strains in human...
