Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains are found in high numbers in the gut of patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs). We hypothesised that in hospitalised patients, UPEC strains might translocate from the gut to the blood stream and th

Escherichia coli strains are normal inhabitants of the gut and are normally found in the faeces of the host at different population sizes. We characterised faecal E. coli of 45 healthy male (n = 17) and female (n = 28) volunteers by testing 28 isolat

peer-reviewed Escherichia coli is commonly viewed as a gastrointestinal commensal or pathogen although an increasing body of evidence suggests that it can persist in non-host environments as well. Curli are a major component of biofilm in many enteri

We investigated Escherichia coli populations in a metropolitan river after an extreme flood event. Between nine and 15 of the 23 selected sites along the river were sampled fortnightly over three rounds. In all, 307 E. coli were typed using the PhP t

Publikováno v: Antimicrobial Coatings and Modifications on Medical Devices ISBN: 9783319574929

Biofilms are complex communities of microbial cells covered in an exopolysaccharide matrix and adhered to a surface. Colonization of medical devices is a significant problem in healthcare-associated infections, especially those related to implanted m
