[Typing of Escherichia coli O and K antigens in patients with urinary tract infections (author's transl)]. 1979

W Sietzen

In a long-term investigation in children and adult patients with urinary tract infection, 1403 Escherichia coli strains were serotyped and 266 strains were subjected to serological investigation. The most frequently occurring O groups were O6, O8, O2, O18, O4, O75, O1, O22, O7 and O9. L type antigens were predominant among the K antigens. Infants in whom pyelonephritis manifested itself for the first time exhibited an above average rate of infection with O2, O4 and O75. A reinfection rate of 84 to 91% was observed in children in follow-up investigations.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
