Veillonella parvula discitis and secondary bacteremia: a rare infection complicating endoscopy and colonoscopy?

abstract：:It has been shown that some, but not all, Escherichia coli strains isolated from urine adhere, in vitro, to the surface of uroepithelial or vaginal cells. In the present study, 212 strains, isolated from urine of 212 infected patients, were tested for adhesion by using an in vitro human cell line assay. A variable deg...
