Abstract

Primers to amplify the genes encoding the virulence factors of uropathogenic Escherichia coli, such as pilus associated with pyelonephritis (pap), haemolysin (hly), aerobactin (aer) and cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1 (cnf1) genes, were designed. The above primers along with previously reported primers for S fimbriae (sfa) and afimbrial adhesin I (afaI) genes were combined to develop a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection of the respective virulence factors and for the identification of uropathogenic E. coli. The multiplex PCR to detect pap, sfa, afaI, hly, aer and cnf1 genes was highly specific and the sensitivity was found to be about 5 x 10(3) colony forming units of E. coli per ml. A total of 194 E. coli strains isolated from patients with simple acute cystitis were examined by the multiplex PCR and the results were in complete agreement with that obtained by DNA colony hybridization test. The multiplex PCR developed was, therefore, concluded to be a useful, sensitive and rapid assay system to identify uropathogenic E. coli.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
