Biofilm and multidrug resistance in uropathogenicEscherichia coli

Context:Escherichia coli is known as causative agent of urinary tract infections (UTIs) tends to form microcolonies in mucosa lining of urinary bladder known as biofilm. These biofilms make the organism to resist the host immune response, more virulent and lead to the evolution of antibacterial drug resistance by enclosing them in an extracellular biochemical matrix.Aims:This study was done to know the association of various virulence factors...
