To determine the presence of some toxins of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) in
uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC), 138 urinary tract infection (UTI)-causing UPECs were
analyzed. The astA, set, sen and cdtB genes were detected in 13 (9.4%), 2 (1.3%), 13 (9.4%)
and 0 (0%) of UPEC isolates respectively. The results show that some genes encoding
toxins can be transferred from DEC pathotypes to UPECs therefore these isolates can
transform into potential diarrhea-causing agents.
