Fast identification of Escherichia coli in urinary tract infections using a virulence gene based PCR approach in a novel thermal cycler

Abstract excerpt

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the most common causal agent of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in humans. Currently, clinical detection methods take hours (dipsticks) to days (culturing methods), limiting rapid intervention. As an alternative, the use of molecular methods could improve speed and accuracy, but their applicability is complicated by high genomic variability within UPEC strains. Here, we...
