Virulence behavior of uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains in the host model Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
, 2018 Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections in humans. Although a number of bacteria can cause UTIs, most cases are due to infection by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC).

The adherent/invasive escherichia coli (AIEC) strain LF82 invades and persists in human prostate cell lineRWPE-1 activating a strong inflammatory response [PDF]
, 2016 Adherent/invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) strains have recently been receiving increased attention because they are more prevalent and persistent in the intestine of Crohn's disease (CD) patients than in healthy subjects.

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2021 Background: Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have higher incidence and more severe urinary tract infections (UTIs) for longer duration than those of the patients without DM. It causes more complicated etiologies during uropathogenic Escherichia coli (

A Population-Based Surveillance Study of Shared Genotypes of Escherichia coli Isolates from Retail Meat and Suspected Cases of Urinary Tract Infections. [PDF]
, 2018 There is increasing evidence that retail food may serve as a source of Escherichia coli that causes community-acquired urinary tract infections, but the impact of this source in a community is not known. We conducted a prospective, population-based study

Escherichia coli-mediated impairment of ureteric contractility is uropathogenic E. coli specific. [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: Ureters are fundamental for keeping kidneys free from uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), but we have shown that 2 strains (J96 and 536) can subvert this role and reduce ureteric contractility. To determine whether this is (1) a widespread

BarA-UvrY two-component system regulates virulence of uropathogenic E. coli CFT073. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), a member of extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli, cause ∼80% of community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTI) in humans.

Immune modulation by group B Streptococcus influences host susceptibility to urinary tract infection by uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 2012 Urinary tract infection (UTI) is most often caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). UPEC inoculation into the female urinary tract (UT) can occur through physical activities that expose the UT to an inherently polymicrobial periurethral, vaginal,

Detection of virulence genes in Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) strains by Multiplex-PCR method [PDF]
Journal of Advanced Biomedical Sciences, 2017 Background & Objectives: Urinary tract infection caused by E. coli is one of the most common illnesses in all age groups worldwide. Presence of virulence genes is a key factor in bacterial pathogens in uroepithelial cells. The present study was performed

Evolutionary fine-tuning of conformational ensembles in FimH during host-pathogen interactions [PDF]
, 2017 Positive selection in the two-domain type 1 pilus adhesin FimH enhances Escherichia coli fitness in urinary tract infection (UTI). We report a comprehensive atomic-level view of FimH in two-state conformational ensembles in solution, composed of one low ...
