2 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Escherichia coli has found to be the predominant uropathogen (50-90%) in uncomplicated, community acquired urinary tract infection (UTI). Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) express a multitude of virulence factors, which enable the bacteria to establish UTI. The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence of different phenotypic virulence markers in UPEC isolates and determine their...
