Characterization of uropathogenic Escherichia coli phylogroups associated with antimicrobial resistance, virulence factor distribution, and virulence-related phenotypes.

Abstract excerpt

In this study, we compared the characteristics of different uropathogenic Escherichia coli phylogroups. A total of 844 E. coli isolated from urine were enrolled and the antimicrobial susceptibility of E. coli to 22 antibiotics was determined by disk diffusion test. The distribution of phylogroups and 20 virulence factor genes was determined by PCR. Phenotypes associated with bacterial virulence, including...
