Hemolysin and bacteriocin production of E. coli isolated from urinary tract infection

Abstract EN

A sixty isolates of E.

coli isolated from urine of patients with urinary tract infection were included in the study.

The hemolysin and bacteriocin produced by E.

coli was studied, and it was found that 12 (40 %) out of the 30 isolates of E.

coli were able to produce hemolysin, whereas 18 (60 %) were found no ability to produce hemolysin.

In (30) isolates of E.

coli, bacteriocin production was seen in 17 (56.7 %), whereas 13 (43.3 %) were found no ability to produce bacteriocin.

We conclusions that E.

coli isolates are considered good producer for bacteriocin that acts as factor.
