The adherent/invasive escherichia coli (AIEC) strain LF82 invades and persists in human prostate cell lineRWPE-1 activating a strong inflammatory response [PDF]
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.

Antibiogram Pattern of Uropathogenic Escherichia Coli in Baghdad Province, Iraq
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is considered one of the main causes of urinary tract infections. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant global health care issue, particularly with regard to urinary tract infections.

Detection of Virulence Determinants of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli. [PDF]
Background Escherichia coli is the major causative agent of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant strains of E. coli have raised considerable interest in understanding their diversity and epidemiology of infections in humans. Knowledge of virulence factors of E.

Pathogenomics of uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Subset of faecal E. coli that can enter, colonize urinary tract and cause infection are known as uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC). UPEC strains act as opportunistic intracellular pathogens taking advantage of host susceptibility using a diverse array of virulence factors.

Unraveling the molecular basis of subunit specificity in P pilus assembly by mass spectrometry [PDF]
P pili are multisubunit fibers essential for the attachment of uropathogenic Escherichia coli to the kidney. These fibers are formed by the noncovalent assembly of six different homologous subunit types in an array that is strictly defined in terms of ...

Virulence behavior of uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains in the host model Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
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).

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