RESUMO

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. coli exhibited divergent associations with other putative virulence genes, phylogenetic markers, host characteristics, and antimicrobial resistance.
