Uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolates from pregnant women in different countries.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common during pregnancy and can be associated with negative outcomes for both the mother and fetus. Increased risk of infection among these patients has been attributed to physiological changes, and less focus has been placed on Escherichia coli, the most frequent causative agent. We investigated the virulence properties of isolates causing UTI in pregnant women...

متن کاملExtended Characterization of Human Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Isolates from Slovenia
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a very diverse bacterial species found naturally in the intestinal tract of humans and many other animal species. Even though E. coli is known to be part of the normal gut microbiota, some strains – that are pathogenic – cause a wide variety of different intestinal and extraintestinal diseases (Marrs et al., 2005). Typical extraintestinal infections due to E. coli ...
متن کاملRelationship of biofilm formation and different virulence genes in uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolates from Northwest Iran
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacterium is one of the main causative agents of urinary tract infections (UTI) worldwide. The ability of this bacterium to form biofilms on medical devices such as catheters plays an important role in the development of UTI. The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible relationship between virulence factors and biofilm fo...
متن کاملOccurrence of genes encoding enterotoxins in uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolates
To determine the presence of some toxins of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) in uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC), 138 urinary tract infection (UTI)-causing UPECs were analyzed. The astA , set , sen and cdtB genes were detected in 13 (9.4%), 2 (1.3%), 13 (9.4%) and 0 (0%) of UPEC isolates respectively. The results show that some genes encoding toxins can be transferred from DEC pathotypes to UPE...
