Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate clinical outcomes, bacterial virulence factors, and antimicrobial resistance in E. coli from young men presenting with acute bacterial prostatitis. METHODS: Initial E. coli isolates from previously healthy young men with no factors compromising urinary tract anatomy or function were tested for virulence-associated genes by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays, phylogenetic grouping by...
