TcpC, a new Toll/interleukin-1 receptor domain-containing protein of uropathogenic Escherichia coli involved in the suppression of innate immunity, was found in 2008. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of tcpC and its association with virulence factors and phylogenetic groups among strains from a collection of 212 E. coli isolates from urinary tract and skin and soft tissue infections and 90 commensal E. coli strains.
TcpC,一种新的尿路上皮致病性大肠杆菌中的 Toll/白细胞介素-1 受体域包含蛋白,于 2008 年被发现。本研究的目的是确定 tcpC 的流行率及其与来自尿路感染和皮肤软组织感染的 212 株大肠杆菌分离株和 90 株共生大肠杆菌分离株的毒力因子和系统发育群之间的关联。
