Bacterial Growth of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli in Pooled Urine Is Much Higher than Predicted from the Average Growth in Individual Urine Samples

Bacterial Growth of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli in Pooled Urine Is Much Higher than Predicted from the Average Growth in Individual Urine Samples

ABSTRACT Urinary tract infections (UTIs), mostly caused by uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC), affect most women, and often recur. Genomic and transcriptomic analyses have not identified a common set of virulence genes, which has suggested complex host-pathogen interactions and multiple virulence mechanis...
