Comparison of phenotypic and genetic traits of ESBL-producing UPEC strains causing recurrent or single episode UTI in postmenopausal women by Michelle Kalu, Peter Jorth, Annie Wong-Beringer

“…Notably, all recurrent strains had significantly more intracellular CFUs compared to single episode strains (median 16,248 CFU/mL vs. 4,118 CFU/mL, p = 0.018). Intracellular expression ompT was significantly increased (p = 0.0312) in the recurrent group compared to LB media, while fimH was significantly decreased (p = 0.0365) in the single episode group compared to expression in LB media. …”
