Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli from human urinary infection-their ability to cause chicken embryo letality
Original language description
Urethritis, ureteritis, cystitis, and pyelonephritis are serious diseases of the human urinary tract of bacterial origin. One of the most common causes of these infections are uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). Some UPEC strains are characterized by the presence of the same virulence factors as the strains of pathogenic for poultry (APEC). The importance of sharing virulence factors between APEC and UPEC, including their mutual transmission, is discussed. The aim of the study was to characterize UPEC strains and determine if they are able to cause lethality of chicken embryos. Sixty one isolates from human uroinfections were selected for the study. The isolates were tested for selected genes encoding APEC virulence predilection factors, serogroup and phylogroups were also determined. Lethal tests on chicken embryos were performed on isolates with APEC characteristics. The results confirmed actual ability of UPEC isolates to cause chicken embryo lethality.
