Data from University of Diyala Advance Knowledge in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (Qualitative and Quantitative Detection of Virulence-Associated Genes in Escherichia Coli Isolates from Women with Urinary Tract Infections).

A study conducted at the University of Diyala focused on Uropathogenic Escherichia coli, the most common cause of urinary tract infections. The research involved collecting urine samples from women with UTI symptoms and analyzing E. coli isolates for the presence of virulence-associated genes using traditional PCR and qRT-PCR. The study found potential overexpression of certain genes in uropathogenic E. coli compared to non-pathogenic isolates, highlighting the sensitivity and accuracy of qRT-PCR in detecting gene expression.
