Integrated Phenotypic and Molecular Characterization of Biofilm Formation, Virulence Determinants, and Multidrug Resistance in Clinical Escherichia Coli
Background: Escherichia coli is responsible for the majority of UTI cases, with an increasing number of multidrug resistance (MDR) and biofilm-forming E. coli isolates being isolated from such cases. In this study, we assessed the MDR profile, biofilm formation ability, and occurrence of specific biofilm-associated and...
