8 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the phylogenetic characterization and virulence traits of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) isolated from kidney transplant patients (KTPs) as well as non-KTPs and analyze the clonal distribution of Extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs)-producing UPEC containing blaCTX-M gene. Methods To this end, we determined virulence marker and the phylogenetic...
