Important Virulence Factors and Related Genes in Uropathogenic E. coli and their Relation to Fluoroquinolone Resistance

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the predominant pathogen causing urinary tract infection. E. coli expresses a wide spectrum of virulence factors that enable it to cause the disease. The present study was conducted on 50 E. coli isolates to assess some important phenotypic virulence factors of E. co...
