Abstract excerpt
S and F1C fimbrial adhesins often expressed by uropathogenic Escherichia coli are genetically homologous. A multiply primed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed for discriminating the S (sfa) and F1C (foc) fimbrial operons. A total of 270 uropathogenic E coli strains and 80 fecal isolates were examined. PCR specifically detected the sfa and foc alleles in 105 (93%) of 113 sfa/foc+ strains by DNA...
