Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) causes various infections, including urinary tract infection (UTI), sepsis, and neonatal meningitis. ExPEC strains have virulence factors (VFs) that facilitate infection by allowing bacterial cells to migrate into and multiply within the host. We compared the microbiological characteristics of ExPEC isolates from blood and urine specimens from UTI patients.

与大肠杆菌菌血症和尿路感染相关的毒力因素。

肠外致病性大肠杆菌(ExPEC) 引起各种感染，包括尿路感染 (UTI)、败血症和新生儿脑膜炎。ExPEC 菌株具有毒力因子 (VF)，可通过允许细菌细胞迁移到宿主体内并在宿主内繁殖来促进感染。我们比较了来自 UTI 患者血液和尿液样本的 ExPEC 分离物的微生物学特征。
