Abstract

The aim of this
study is to perform phylogenetic grouping, to detect the virulence associated
genes in Escherichia coli strains
recovered from the urinary tract infections of dogs and cats, and to determine
the antibiotic susceptibility profiles, as well. The urine samples from the
animals showing clinical signs of urinary tract infection examined for the
occurrence of E. coli. Phylogenetic
classification of the isolates was performed according to the existence of chuA, yjaA and TSPE4.C2 genes. The isolates were also examined for the
presence of uropathogenecity-associated genes, such as, fimH, sfa1, iut, fyu, hly,
cnf-1, papG and for the diversity of
the papG allelles. Finally, the
antimicrobial susceptibility profiles were examined. E. coli was isolated from 11 (6.08%) of 181 samples. Two isolates
belonged to group A-2, while the remaining isolates belonged to group B-2. hylA was detected in 2 (25%); sfa1, cnf1, papG and papGIII were detected in 3 (37.5%); iutA was detected in 4 (50%);  fyuA
was detected in 6 (75%); and fimH was
detected in all of the isolates. Most of the isolates were resistant to
ampicillin while one isolate also showed multidrug resistance. The isolation
rate of E. coli was low in this
study, however, we had a brief data about the phylo-groups and virulence
factors of canine and feline uropathogenic strains.
