Abstract
Escherichia coli is one of the most important agents of intestinal and urinary tract infections Mutilocus sequence typing will be applied in 37 E. coli EPEC strains (Enteropathogenic E. coli) and in 7 uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) strains, previously isolated from patients of Unidade de Emergência do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo (HCFMRP-USP) and from the community of a city in Minas Gerais State, respectively.
