Phenotypic assays to determine virulence factors of Uropathogenic (UPEC) isolates and their correlation with antibiotic resistance pattern
Urinary tract infection caused by Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains is one of the most important infections in the world. UPEC encode widespread virulence factors closely related with pathogenesis of the bacteria. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the presence of different phenotypic virulence markers in UPEC isolates and determine their correlation with antibiotic resistance pattern.
