Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The purpose of present study was to characterize uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) associated with acute cystitis in Indian women. METHODS: In this prospective descriptive study we investigated phylogenetic background and virulence genotypes for 15 genes by multiplex PCR and in vitro biofilm formation ability of 172 E. coli strains and explored possible association amongst them. RESULTS: Most...
