AI Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on the rare Capnophilic Escherichia coli (CEC) strains found in urinary tract infections (UTIs), analyzing their incidence and features in patients.
- - Out of 8500 urine samples, only nine CEC isolates (0.11%) were identified, with three belonging to a specific clone (O25b-ST131) and displaying varying antibiotic resistance.
- - The researchers noted that isolating CEC strains is challenging due to their specific growth requirements and suggested that capnophilic incubation could be beneficial for patients with certain health conditions.
Article Abstract
Capnophilic Escherichia coli (CEC) strains are rarely isolated from urinary tract infections (UTIs). The purpose of this research was to look into the incidence and traits of the CEC strains that cause UTIs. Nine (0.11%) epidemiologically unrelated CEC isolates with varying antibiotic susceptibility patterns were identified from patients with various co-morbidities after the evaluation of 8500 urine samples. Three of these strains belonged to the O25b-ST131 clone, and none of them possessed the yadF gene. Due to adverse incubation conditions, CEC isolation is difficult. Although rare, capnophilic incubation of urine cultures may be considered particularly for patients with underlying predisposing conditions.
