Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of virulence factors among uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) isolates from cancer patients and to investigate their genetic diversity using ERIC-PCR. METHODS: A total of 42 E. coli were recovered from urine samples from cancer patients admitted to Assiut University Hospital. PCR was used to detect the presence of three virulence genes (papC, iutA and...
