The application of genotyping techniques for subtyping uropathogenic Escherichia coli has
contributed to better understanding of the epidemiology of community-acquired urinary tract …

Strain typing methods that compare electrophoresis banding patterns are commonly used
but are difficult to standardize and poorly portable. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) is a …

Background: Phylogenetic analysis has been used widely to characterize extraintestinal
pathogenic Escherichia coli in molecular epidemiological studies. We have recently …

The clonal composition of Escherichia coli causing extra-intestinal infections includes ST131
and other common uropathogenic clones. Drivers for the spread of these clones and risks for …

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections in humans,
causing cystitis, pyelonephritis, and renal failure. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is …

To characterize the resistance patterns of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) in a
Tertiary Teaching Hospital in Iran, we conducted a descriptive epidemiology study using …

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) express a multitude of virulence factors (VFs) to
break the inertia of the mucosal barrier of the urinary tract. The aim of the present study was …

Purpose Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most frequent bacterial infection. Some
uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) genes have been associated with disease severity …

102 Escherichia coli strains from patients with community-acquired urinary tract infections
(UTIs) were genotypically and phenotipically characterized. The strains were examined …

Background The aim of this study is to detect the presence of and possible relation between
virulence genes and antibiotic resistance in E. coli strains isolated from patients with acute …
