Characterization of some virulence factors associated with enterbacteriaceae isolated from urinary tract infections in Mansoura Hospitals

ABSTRACT

Purpose: the aim of the present study was to determine the role of some virulence determinants and biofilm production in bacteraemia of urinary tract origin by phenotypic defection of these virulence factors. In addition, this research was done to characterize and compare, using genetic techniques, bacterial genes that encode virulence determinants
