Quinolone- and fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli strains harbor fewer virulence factors than susceptible strains. The reasons underlying this correlation are incompletely understood. We investigated the phylogenetic background, the presence of the papC, hlyA, and cnf1 (pathogenicity island II(J96)-associated), fimA, iss, and iutA...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are frequently polymicrobial diseases mainly sustained by Escherichia coli in association with other opportunistic pathogens. Cystitis and pyelonephritis are usually accompanied by an inflammatory response, which includes neutrophil recruitment. Uropathogenic E. coli possess the ability to evade host defenses,...
