title: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli--a preliminary study.
abstract: Urinary isolates of Escherichia coli were studied for presence of haemolysin, adhesins, serum resistance and O serotype prevalence. Of the 144 isolates studied, 72 exhibited hemolysin, 7 were resistant to bactericidal effect of serum and 50 strains showed Mannose resistant Haemagglutination (MRHA). O101,O68,O04 and O25 were the commonest serotypes in this study.
