Comparison of Virulence Factors Distribution in Uropathogenic E. coli Isolates From Phylogenetic Groups B2 and D

Abstract

Background: Urinary tract infections are a significant health problem, with Escherichia coli as a primary pathogen in approximately 80% of cases. The pathogenesis of E. coli in urinary tract infections is attributed to the production of virulence factors and phylogenetic background groups.
