Of 33 Escherichia coli strains isolated from canine urinary tract infections, 22 were haemolytic and 27 were classified into O serogroups, the most common being O4, O6, O2 and O83. P-fimbriated strains were haemolytic and belonged mainly to serogroups O4 and O6. Twenty-nine strains possessed type-1 fimbriae but only small numbers possessed S fimbriae, type-1C fimbriae, X adhesins or the aerobactin system. It is postulated that P fimbriae and haemolysin production contribute to bacterial virulence in canine pyelonephritis and cystitis.
