Distribution of genes encoding iron uptake systems among the Escherichia coli isolates from foodstuffs compared to Escherichia coli isolated from clinical specimens.

CONCLUSION: Our results showed that the prevalence of E. coli isolates with iut A and iuc A genes was relatively higher compared to many previous studies. The existence of these genes in E. coli strains is likely to be related with pathogenicity in those strains, which requires further studies in the future.
