Genotypic and phenotypic characterisation of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) isolates displaying bacterial interference against multi-drug resistant uropathogenic E. Coli.

Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli can colonise the urogenital tract of individuals without causing symptoms of infection, in a condition referred to as asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU). ABU isolates can protect the host against symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTIs) by bacterial interference against uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC). The aim of this study was to investigate the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of five ABU...
