AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on identifying E. Coli strains responsible for urinary tract infections (UTIs) and healthy individuals' feces in Sardinia.
- Common serological groups found in UTIs were 06, 018, and 075, aligning with findings from other regions.
- Some O-groups, like 02, 018, and 075, were prevalent in both UTIs and fecal samples, suggesting a connection, while specific O-groups appeared only in UTIs, indicating a unique ability to thrive in the urinary tract.
Article Abstract
We refer to the results of the serological identification of E.Coli strains from urinary tract infections and from faeces of healthy subjects in Sardinia. The serological groups more frequently found in urinary tract infections (06, 018, 075) of our geographical region one similar to those of other authors. The fact that some of the 0-groups (02, 018, 075, 04) which occurred more frequently in urinary tract infections are also the most prevalent among faecal strains, supports the theory of prevalence; the presence of 0-groups (06, 01, 011, 09) in urinary infections alone does not leave out a specific disposition towards growth in the urinary tract of the same strains.
