One hundred seventy human uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) clinical isolates were compared with 35 E. coli strains isolated from feces of a control group to determine the presence of the set1, sen and astA genes encoding the ShET-1, ShET-2, and EAST toxins, respectively. Overall, 27 (16%), 8 (8%) and 0 UPEC isolates presented the set1B, the astA, and the sen genes, respectively. This is the first time the set gene has been found in UPEC clinical isolates.
将 170 株人源泌尿道致病性大肠杆菌（UPEC）临床分离株与 35 株来自对照组粪便的大肠杆菌菌株进行比较，以确定分别编码 ShET-1、ShET-2 和 EAST 毒素的 set1、sen 和 astA 基因的存在情况。总的来说，27（16%）、8（8%）和 0 UPEC 分离株分别携带 set1B、astA 和 sen 基因。这是首次在 UPEC 临床分离株中发现 set 基因。
