Rapid Growth of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli during Human Urinary Tract Infection

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains cause most uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs). These strains are a subgroup of extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) strains that infect extraintestinal sites, including urinary tract, meninges, bloodstream, lungs, and surgical sites.
