Genetic relatedness of the Escherichia coli fecal population and strains causing urinary tract infection in the same host
M Bahadori, M Motamedifar… - …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
It is common knowledge that fecal microbiota is a primary source of Escherichia coli causing
urinary tract infections (UTIs) via the fecal‐perineal‐urethral route. But, it is still unknown
whether E. coli UTI is mainly caused by dominant fecal E. coli isolates (prevalence
hypothesis) or the isolates that possess more virulence factors (special pathogenicity
hypothesis). In the present study, the urine E. coli isolates of 30 women with UTI were
compared with the fecal E. coli isolates of the same patients and healthy control individuals …
