Abstract
Two novel putative Escherichia coli virulence genes,iha and iroN from E. coli(iroNE. coli), were detected in 55 and 39%, respectively, of 67 E. coli isolates from patients with urosepsis. iha and iroNE. coliexhibited divergent associations with other putative virulence genes, phylogenetic markers, host characteristics, and antimicrobial resistance.Keywords
