Kedi ve köpeklerde üropatojenik Escherichia coli infeksiyonları

Üriner sistem infeksiyonlarına neden olan Escherichia coli suşları üropatojenik E. coli (UPEC) veya ekstraintestinal patojenik E. coli (ExPEC) olarak isimlendirilirler. Üropatojenik E. coli’ler insan ve hayvanlarda özellikle de kedi ve köpeklerde fırsatçı patojen olarak çeşitli hastalıklara neden olurlar. E. coli üriner sistem infeksiyonlarında en sık rastlanan patojendir. Üropatojenik E. coli’lerin bilinen genel özelliklerinin yanı sıra patogeneziste rol oynayan virülens faktörleri, serum direnci ve antijenik özellikleri bulunmaktadır.

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli infections in cats and dogs

Escherichia coli strains that cause urinary tract infections are named as uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) or extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC). Uropathogenic E. coli is an opportunistic pathogen in human and animals especially in dogs and cats. E. coli is the most commonly isolated agent from urine of dogs and cats with urinary system infection. Besides the general features of known, uropathogenic E. coli has serum resistance, virulence factors and antigenic factors. These factors also play a role in pathogenesis.
