8 Feb 2023
Abstract excerpt
Introduction . The main aetiological agent of urinary tract infection (UTI) is Escherichia coli , categorized as uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC). The genome of UPEC shows a high degree of plasticity, which leads to the emergence of ‘intermediary strains’ with different traits from the parental pathotypes. Gap Statement/Aim . We aimed to assess the frequency and types of the hybrid UPEC among isolates causing UTI and...
