An “omics” approach to uropathogenic Escherichia coli vaccinology [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Microbiology, 2009
Urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs when bacteria, most commonly uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) [1], contaminate the periurethral area and traverse the urethra to colonize the bladder. Left untreated, UPEC ascend the ureters and establish a secondary infection in the kidney parenchyma.

Genotypic Study of Two Virulence Factors fimH and kpsMTII in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Isolates from Children Patients with Urinary Tract Infections

open access: yesمجلة بغداد للعلوم, 2014
Adhesion (type 1 fimbriae) and host defense avoidance mechanisms (capsule or lipopolysaccharide) have been shown to be prevalent in Escherichia coli isolates associated with urinary tract infections. In this work, 50 uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC)

Origins and virulence mechanisms of uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]

open access: yesExperimental and Molecular Pathology, 2008
Strains of uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) are the primary cause of urinary tract infections, including both cystitis and pyelonephritis. These bacteria have evolved a multitude of virulence factors and strategies that facilitate bacterial growth and persistence within the adverse settings of the host urinary tract.

Virulence factors of uropathogenic Escherichia coli

open access: yesInternational Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2003
Virulence factors of Escherichia coli are of two main types; those produced on the surface of the cell and those produced within the cell and then exported to the site of action. Those on the surface include different sorts of fimbriae that have a role in adhesion to the surface of host cells but may also have additional roles such as tissue invasion ...

Comparative phenotypic characterization of hybrid Shiga toxin-producing / uropathogenic Escherichia coli, canonical uropathogenic and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli

open access: yesInternational Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2021
Hybrid Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) strains are phylogenetically positioned between STEC and UPEC and can cause both diarrhea and urinary tract infections (UTIs). However, their virulence properties

Detection of Ciprofloxacin resistance genes in Escherichia coli isolated from dogs with urinary tract infections [PDF]

open access: yesThe Iranian Journal of Veterinary Science and Technology, 2020
This research was performed on uropathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolates and established the genes of resistance to ciprofloxacin between the isolates. A total of one hundred and three urine samples were tested for uropathogenic E.

Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli Related to Uropathogenic Clonal Group A

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) are heterogeneous, diarrheagenic E. coli. Of EAEC strains from Nigeria, 10 independent antimicrobial-resistant isolates belonged to the multilocus sequence type 69 clonal complex, to which uropathogenic E.

Estradiol Alters the Virulence Traits of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the most common bacteria to cause urinary tract infection (UTI). Postmenopausal women have an increased risk of recurrent UTI. This is partly explained by estrogenic effects on host defenses against UTI. Current research is mostly focused on how UPEC affects host factors, but not so much is known about how host ...
