TABLE 3.
Association of sjx (sJX77, -80, -83, -128, -129, -150, -204, and -208) with known UTI virulence genes among 88 E. coli isolates that include uropathogens isolated from urine (rectal, urine, and vaginal E. coli isolates identical by PFGE in a single woman) and 54 rectum-only isolates from the same individuals who had a different E. coli isolate present in multiple-site collections
| Virulence factor(s)a (gene name) | Uropathogens isolated from urine (n = 88)
|
Rectum-only isolates (n = 54)

a
Known uropathogenic virulence factors.
b
The odds ratio (OR) is a measure of the strength of association between sjx and virulence factors. The further away that OR is from 1, the higher the association is between the two variables.
