Fig. 1From: Determinants encoding fimbriae type 1 in fecal Escherichia coli are associated with increased frequency of bacteriocinogenyFlow chart of the E. coli isolates investigated in this study. *Fecal E. coli strains used in this study (n = 579) either tested negative for all 18 virulence determinants (pCVD432, α-hly, afaI, aer, cnf1, sfa, pap, ial, lt, st, bfpA, eaeA, ipaH, iucC, fimA, stx1, stx2 and ehly) and were, therefore, considered fimA-negative, or the strains were fimA-positive, while still testing negative for all other virulence determinantsBack to article page
