Types 1 and 3 fimbriae in Enterobacteriaceae play versatile roles in bacterial physiology
including attachment, invasion, cell motility as well as with biofilm formation and urinary tract …

Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is the most common nosocomial infection
in the United States. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), the most common cause of …

This study reported the involvement of a gene cluster from a conjugative plasmid in the
biofilm formation of Escherichia coli. We used a novel EZ-Tn 5 transposon technique to …

The conjugative plasmid pOLA52, which confers resistance to olaquindox and other
antimicrobial agents through a multidrug efflux pump, was investigated for its ability to …

In light of the limited therapeutic options with Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales
(CRE) infections, understanding the bacterial risk factors, such as biofilm formation and …

Background Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is the most common
nosocomial infection in the United States and is caused by a range of uropathogens. Biofilm …

Our understanding of Escherichia coli biofilm formation in vitro is based on studies of
laboratory K-12 strains grown in standard media. However, pathogenic E. coli isolates differ …

The ability of 15 Escherichia coli strains to form biofilms on polystirene plates was studied.
The strains were serotyped, and their phenotypic expression of surface virulence factors …

The isolation and identification, genetic typing, antibiotic sensitivity, and biofilm formation of
avian Escherichia coli in central China was studied. A total of 256 isolates of E. coli were …

Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is the main pathogens that inflict the poultry
industry. Biofilm as the pathogenic factors of APEC, which can enhance the anti-host …
