In a previous study by Maniam et al. (2022), the relational analysis of the occurrence of papC/sfa, iroN/fyuA, cnf/hlyA, kpsMTII, and usp virulence genes among ASB strains was recommended to be prognostic towards the cumulative virulence potential of the isolates in causing clinically significant UTI cases. This evidence concerns the gene PCDH8 and bacterial urinary tract infection.
