Virulence characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibility of uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains.
Eight virulence factors associated with uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) were investigated in 204 clinical isolates of E. coli recovered from urine cultures at counts ≥10(5). The bacteria were classified into two groups according to the number of leukocytes in urine samples from which they were isolated: group I ≤8 leukocytes/hpf, 104 strains; group II >8 leukocytes/hpf, 100 strains....
متن کاملgenotyping of virulence factors of uropathogenic escherichia coli by pcr
background: escherichia coli is the most causative agent of urinary tract infections (utis). apart from all human infectious diseases, uti have a high prevalence and in most cases, escherichia coli is a dominance bacterium which can cause pyelonephritis and cystitis. the aim of the study was to determine the occurrence of some virulence genes expressing fimbriae, production of hemolysin and aer...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization and Antimicrobial Resistance of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Background:Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are the most common infectious diseases in childhood. The Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains account for as much as 80% of UTIs. Objective:From a clinical perspective, it is important to know which virulence factors and antibiotic resistance properties are present in UPEC strains in pediatrics. Therefore, this study was carried out...
متن کاملPilicide ec240 Disrupts Virulence Circuits in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli
UNLABELLED Chaperone-usher pathway (CUP) pili are extracellular organelles produced by Gram-negative bacteria that mediate bacterial pathogenesis. Small-molecule inhibitors of CUP pili, termed pilicides, were rationally designed and shown to inhibit type 1 or P piliation. Here, we show that pilicide ec240 decreased the levels of type 1, P, and S piliation. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses ...
متن کاملMolecular blueprint of uropathogenic Escherichia coli virulence provides clues toward the development of anti-virulence therapeutics
The unexplained collapse of honeybee (Apis mellifera) colonies across the world continues to fascinate both the scientific and mainstream media alike. This is mainly due to the worldwide importance of honeybees in ecological and commercial sectors. We recently reported how the ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor, altered the viral landscape in the Hawaiian archipelago by decreasing the viral ...
