Distribution of chaperone-usher fimbriae and curli fimbriae among uropathogenic Escherichia coli.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the present study, we aimed to determine the frequency of the csgA, fimH, mrkD, foc, papaGI, papGII and papGIII genes, to provide and to design fimbrial adhesin gene (FAG) patterns and profiles for the isolated uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains.

Methods

The enrollment of 108 positive urine samples was performed during seven months, between January 2022 and July 2022. The UPEC strains were confirmed through the standard microbiological and biochemical tests. The antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed through the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Molecular screening of FAGs was done through the polymerase chain reaction technology. The statistical analyses including chi square and Fisher's exact tests were performed to interpret the obtained
