Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common infectious complication after renal transplantation. Most infections are caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC).

This study compared the phenotypic and genotypic profiles of UPEC strains isolated from recipients with those from...
