Virulence Factors of Escherichia coli Isolated From Female Reproductive Tract Infections and Neonatal Sepsis

Objective: The presence of enterobacteria such as Escherichia coli in the vagina of normal women is not synonymous with infection. However, vaginal E. coli may also cause symptomatic infections. We examined bacterial virulenceproperties that may promote symptomatic female reproductive tract infectio...
