摘要
Occurrence of cnf1+ E. coli pathogenic strains among extraintestinal E. coli isolates was evaluated to explain an impact of cytotoxic necrotizing factor type 1 (CNF1) in human infections. A total of 120 E. coli isolates were characterized for presence of virulence factors cnf1- and pap- specific sequences by PCR, and the production of alpha-hemolysin using blood agar-plate test. Different association patterns among. In the detected virulence factors were obtained by comparison of various groups of clinical E. coli isolates. These differences probably reflect a potential impact of CNF1 in the colonization of vaginal environment.
