Infection and Immunity, 1986•Am Soc MicrobiolA total of 516 strains of Escherichia coli were screened for the presence and expression of
the aerobactin iron uptake system. The incidence was markedly higher among clinical
isolates from patients with septicemia (68.8%), pyelonephritis (74.6%), and symptomatic
(59.8%) and asymptomatic (63.2%) lower urinary tract infections than among normal human
fecal isolates (34.3%).
