Abstract excerpt
Extra-Intestinal Escherichia coli (ExPEC) are important cause of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) and systemic infections. The purpose of this study was to investigate numerous ExPEC bacterial isolates for phenotypic virulence characteristics including hemolytic activity and resistance pattern and to observe their association with genetic traits via Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). A total of 367 ExPEC isolates...
