Recent Data Characterizing the Prevalence and Resistance Patterns of FimH-producing Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Isolated from Patients with Urinary Tract Infections in North Lebanon
2023-10-14
Abstract excerpt
Background: The adhesin gene (FimH) of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) plays a critical role in mediating the first contact of UPEC bacterial strains with uroepithelial cells, leading to colonization and invasion of host cells. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of FimH in UPEC strains isolated from patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs) in North Lebanon and characterize the resi...
