Abstract excerpt
To assess the contributions of bacterial virulence factors and defects in host defense to Escherichia coli bacteremia, we examined isolates and available medical records from 169 episodes at two hospitals. Adhesins and hemolysin virulence factors were documented in 84% of bacteremia-associated is...
