Abstract:Background: The aim of this study was genotyping of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) based on Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) sequences. Methods: E. coli strains isolated from urine samples were included in this study. Seven VNTR loci were subjected to Multilocus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) based on PCR amplification. Then data was analyzed via online mlvaplus software and the information was displayed in the form of MST analysis. Results: A total of 100 E. coli strains were is… Show more
