Aerobactin uptake system, ColV production, and drug resistance encoded by a plasmid from an urinary tract infection Escherichia coli strain of human origin.
A study of Escherichia coli strains isolated from patients suffering from urinary tract infections in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia, revealed a plasmid encoding the aerobactin iron uptake system, ColV production, and drug resistance. The plasmid is conjugative and at least 85 kilobases in length.
