Colonization with and Acquisition of UropathogenicEscherichia colias Revealed by Polymerase Chain Reaction‐Based Detection
1 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of colonization with uropathogenic Escherichia coli and their reservoirs and routes of acquisition are incompletely defined. To help clarify these issues, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based strain typing assays were used to evaluate the fecal and vaginal E. coli flora of 11 volunteers. PCR detected the virulence genes papG, aer, and cnf significantly more frequently in mixed intestinal samples...
