Rapid Growth of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli during Human Urinary Tract Infection

mBio, 2018
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains cause most uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs). These strains are a subgroup of extraintestinal pathogenic E.

Synergistic Effect of Propolis and Antibiotics on Uropathogenic Escherichia coli

Antibiotics, 2020
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common bacterial infections around the world. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is among the main pathogens isolated in UTIs.

The effect of consumption of cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) on Escherichia coli adherence to feline uroepithelial cells in a blind randomised cross-over trial in cats

Journal of Veterinary Research
Escherichia coli is the most common uropathogen in humans, dogs and cats. Dietary consumption of cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) is known to be associated with a reduction in uropathogenic E.

Antibiogram and characterization of resistance markers among Escherichia coli Isolates from urinary tract infections

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2013
Introduction: Urinary tract infection is the most frequently diagnosed kidney and urologic disease, and Escherichia coli is by far its most common etiological agent. Uropathogenic E. coli are responsible for approximately 90% of urinary tract infections

Self-induced mechanical stress can trigger biofilm formation in uropathogenic Escherichia coli

Nature Communications, 2018
Bacterial biofilms represent an important medical problem; however, the mechanisms of the onset of biofilm formation are poorly understood. Here, using new controlled methods allowing high-throughput and reproducible biofilm growth, we show that biofilm ...

Prevalence of Multidrug Resistance and Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase Carriage of Clinical Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Isolates in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

International Journal of Microbiology, 2018
The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-producing E. coli) has recently increased worldwide. This study aims at determining the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of a collection of clinical E.

Highly conserved type 1 pili promote enterotoxigenic E. coli pathogen-host interactions [PDF]

, 2017
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), defined by their elaboration of heat-labile (LT) and/or heat-stable (ST) enterotoxins, are a common cause of diarrheal illness in developing countries.

Enzymatically Active and Inactive Phosphodiesterases and Diguanylate Cyclases Are Involved in Regulation of Motility or Sessility in Escherichia coli CFT073

mBio, 2012
Intracellular concentration of cyclic diguanylate monophosphate (c-di-GMP), a second messenger molecule, is regulated in bacteria by diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) (synthesizing c-di-GMP) and phosphodiesterases (PDEs) (degrading c-di-GMP).

Distribution of virulence genes and their association with antimicrobial resistance among uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolates from Iranian patients

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2018
BackgroundUrinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most frequent diseases encountered by humans worldwide. The presence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) harboring several virulence factors, is a major risk factor ...
