Genetic Markers of Pathogenicity of Opportunistic Enterobacteria and their Correlation with Clinical Manifestations of Acute Intestine Infections in Children
175 cases of acute intestinal infections caused by opportunistic Enterobacteria in children of Irkutsk region were analyzed. The genotypic heterogeneity of enterobacteria was identified. The clinical strains possessed genetic determinants of pathogenicity conditioned by adhesive activity, production of hemolysins and the synthesis of iron regulated protein in 23,4% cases. The connection between the presence of genetic determinants of pathogenicity among isolates of Enterobacteria and clinical manifestations of acute intestinal infections was determined.
