M.Abhilash, H.K.Makari, S.Uma Maheshwari

E.coli isolates fromurine samples of patients suffering fromUrinary Tract Infections caused by E.coli was collected from various private diagnostic centers in Davangere, Karnataka, India. Isolates were cultured and maintained using specific media. Urea and Salinity tolerance of samples was checked by observing bacterial growth in artificial urine with varying urea and salt concentrations. Biochemical assays were carried out to identify virulence factors of Uropathogenic E.coli in samples showing high salt and urea tolerance.
