Escherichia coli can colonize the urinary bladder without causing a disease response in the host. This asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) can protect against recurrent symptomatic urinary tract infection by virulent bacteria. Here, we report the whole-genome sequences of nine E. coli ABU isolates from diabetic patients.

This paper deals with a study of geologic structures using 8 X enlargements of Apollo-Soyuz Test Project color photographs. The two study areas are Abu Rawdsh and Whdi el NatrQn; both are in the northern part of the Western Desert of Egypt. Because the structures are small, aerial photographs were studied and field checks were made to verify the findings from Apollo-Soyuz photographs. The Apoll...

aware, is to educate the children of British soldiers and others serving in Rajputana and Western India. There were 66-98 boarders on the rolls, and 78 remained at the close of the year (43 boys and 35 girls). 91 per cent, of these are of pure European parentage. 24 new pupils were admitted and 7 withdrawn. Three of the latter obtained employment. One girl was adopted by a family in Abu, a boy ...

investigating a hadith narrated from the fifth shi‘a imam (abu ja‘far muhammad al-baqir) in two quranic commentaries of al-tibyan and majma‘al-bayan, the present essay finds its origin in al-masabih fi tafsir al-qur’an by abu al-qasim wazir maghribi (370-418 a.h.). wazir maghribi attributes that hadith to abu ja‘far in an ambiguous way. however, that hadith is neither narrated in shiite books o...

We compared the virulence properties of a collection of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) Escherichia coli strains to urinary tract infection (UTI) strains isolated from pregnant women in a university hospital over 1 year. The in vitro and in vivo studies suggest that ABU strains presented a virulence behavior similar to that of strains isolated from cases of cystitis.

Escherichia coli is the most important etiological agent of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Unlike uropathogenic E. coli, which causes symptomatic infections, asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) E. coli strains typically lack essential virulence factors and colonize the bladder in the absence of symptoms. While ABU E. coli can persist in the bladder for long periods of time, little is known about t...
