چکیده

conclusions the results showed that e. coli isolated from patients with uti had eight virulence factors with high frequencies. moreover, these results alleged a direct connection between virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance in e. coli. results the frequency of virulence factors papc, afa, sfa/foc, fimh, hly, neuc, ibea, and iucc were 53.3%, 51.7%, 53.3%, 56.7%, 23.3%, 31.7%, 20%, and 73.3%, respectively. in addition, there was a high degree resistance to cotrimoxazole and nalidixic acid while a high degree of susceptibility to nitrofurantoin was detected. there was a statistically significant association between fimh gene and resistance to ciprofloxacin (p = 0.006), nalidixic acid (p = 0.025), and cotrimoxazole (p = 0.02). such associations were found between ibea gene and amikacin (p = 0.02) and cotrimoxazole (p = 0.02) as well as between afa gene and gentamycin (p = 0.05). objectives this study aimed to determine the prevalence of eight e. coli virulence factors and their association with antimicrobial resistance in bacteria isolated from patients with urinary tract infections (uti). patients and methods one thousand patients with uti were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. antimicrobial susceptibility was examined by disc diffusion method according to clsi guidelines. after dna extraction, the materials were probed by pcr for eight virulence factors genes, namely fimh, hly, iucc, ibea, sfa/foc, neuc, papc, and afa genes. background the emergence of antimicrobial resistant strains of escherichia coli has raised considerable interest in understanding the diversity and epidemiology of e. coli infections in humans. virulence factors of e. coli determine the specific infections caused by this microorganism.

Molecular Characterization and Antimicrobial Resistance of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli

Background:Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are the most common infectious diseases in childhood. The Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains account for as much as 80% of UTIs. Objective:From a clinical perspective, it is important to know which virulence factors and antibiotic resistance properties are present in UPEC strains in pediatrics. Therefore, this study was carried out...

Phenotypic Assays to Determine Virulence Factors of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) Isolates and their Correlation with Antibiotic Resistance Pattern

OBJECTIVES Urinary tract infection caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains is one of the most important infections in the world. UPEC encode widespread virulence factors closely related with pathogenesis of the bacteria. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the presence of different phenotypic virulence markers in UPEC isolates and determine their correlation with antibioti...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common pathological conditions in both community and hospital settings. It has been estimated that about 150 million people worldwide develop UTI each year, with high social costs in terms of hospitalizations and medical expenses. Among the common uropathogens associated to UTIs development, UroPathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the primary...
