Abstract excerpt
Urinary isolates of cysteine-requiring Escherichia coli were found to be generally lacking in virulence factors commonly associated with uropathogenic strains. The proportion of auxotrophic strains showing type-1 fimbriation, haemolysin production, motility and sensitivity to normal human serum w...
