Uropathogenic<i>Escherichia coli</i>(UPEC) strains may carry virulence properties of diarrhoeagenic<i>E. coli</i>
11 Mar 2008
Abstract excerpt
To analyze whether Escherichia coli strains that cause urinary tract infections (UPEC) share virulence characteristics with the diarrheagenic E. coli (DEC) pathotypes and to recognize their genetic diversity, 225 UPEC strains were examined for the presence of various properties of DEC and UPEC (type of interaction with HeLa cells, serogroups and presence of 30 virulence genes). No correlation between adherence...
