Prevalence of Virulence Traits of One Hundred Fifty-Four ST131 and Non-ST131 Escherichia coli Isolates
| Virulence traits | Non-ST131 (%) (n = 116) | ST131 (%) (n = 38) | O25b/ST131 (%) (n = 28) | p-Value* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cnf1 | 42 (36.2) | 15 (39.5) | 11 (39.3) | 0.43 |
| ompT | 97 (83.6) | 36 (94.7) | 27 (96.4) | 0.08 |
| Iha | 22 (19) | 15 (39.5) | 12 (42.9) | 0.01 |
p values (ST131 vs. non-ST131), by Fisher's exact test.
