چکیده

background: uropathogenic escherichia coli o- serogroups with their virulence factors are the most prevalent causes of utis. objectives: the present investigation was performed to study the virulence factors and o-serogroups profiles of upec isolated from iranian pediatric patients. patients and methods: this cross sectional investigation was performed on 100 urine samples collected from hospitalized pediatrics of baqiyatallah hospital, tehran, iran. midstream urine was collected to decrease potential bacterial, cellular and artifactual contamination. all samples were cultured and those with positive results were subjected to polymerase chain reactions to detect pap, cnf1, afa, sfa and hlya genes and various o- serogroups. results: we found that 37.5% of boys and 75% of girls had positive results for escherichia coli. we also found that o1 (19.33%), o2 (13.33%), o6 (13.33%), o4 (11.66%), and o18 (11.66 %) were the most commonly detected serogroups. totally, the serogroup of 5% of all strains were not detected. in addition, all of these o- serogroups were pap+, cnf1+, hlya+, and afa+. totally, pap (70 %), cnf1 (56.66 %), and hlya (43.33 %) were the most commonly detected virulence genes in the both studied groups of children. the sfa (30 %) and afa (26.66 %) genes had the lowest incidence rates. conclusions: special health care should be performed on utis management in iranian pediatric patients. extended researches should be performed to evaluate relation between other o-serogroups and virulent genes.

Determination of the Frequency of Adhesion Virulence Factors in Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) Strains Isolated from Hospitalized Patients in Babol

Background and Aims: Uropathogenic E.coli is one of the most known causes of urinary tract infections, which may lead to a high rate of morbidity and mortality in high risk patients. In this regard, the virulence factors such as bacterial adhesion molecules have a critical role. The current study was intended to determine the molecular properties of adhesion genes in Uropathogenic E.coli strain...

Virulence factors and genetic variability of uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from dogs and cats in Italy

In this study, the association between virulence genotypes and phylogenetic groups among Escherichia (E.) coli isolates obtained from pet dogs and cats with cystitis was detected, and fingerprinting methods were used to explore the relationship among strains. Forty uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) isolated from dogs (n = 30) and cats (n = 10) in Italy were analysed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR...

Microbial susceptibility, virulence factors, and plasmid profiles of uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains isolated from children in Jahrom, Iran.

BACKGROUND Urinary tract infections (UTIs), including cystitis and pyelonephritis, are the most common infectious diseases in childhood. Escherichia coli (E. coli) accounts for as much as 90% of the community-acquired and 50% of nosocomial UTIs. Therefore, identification of E. coli strains is important for both clinical and epidemiological implications. Understanding antibiotic resistance patte...

Lack of virulence factors in Escherichia coli strains of enteropathogenic serogroups isolated from water.

Thirty-eight Escherichia coli strains belonging to 14 human enteropathogenic serogroups were isolated from 33 of 208 water samples studied. No virulence factor or virulence-related gene sequences were found in any of the 38 strains analyzed. The results point out the importance of detecting specific virulence factors before incriminating water as a source of human diarrhea.
