Abstract excerpt
We investigated the relationship between clonality and virulence factors (VFs) of a collection of Escherichia coli strains isolated from septicaemic and uroseptic patients with respect to their origin of translocation. Forty septicaemic and 30 uroseptic strains of E. coli were tested for their phylogenetic groupings, genetic relatedness using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), biochemical fingerprinting...
