Abstract excerpt
We assessed the clonality of consecutive Escherichia coli isolates during the course of recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTI) in childhood in order to compare clonality with phenotypic antibiotic resistance patterns, the presence of integrons, and the presence of the sul1, sul2, and sul3 genes. Altogether, 78 urinary E. coli isolates from 27 children, who experienced recurrences during a 1-year follow-up...
