  abstract  = {After intraperitoneal injection of mice with Escherichia coli strains isolated from patients with urinary tract infections, the mortality due to hemolytic (Hly+) and nonhemolytic (Hiy-) isolates was 77 and 40\%, respectively. Deletion of the chromosomal hemolysin (h/y) determinant in an E. co/i 06:K15:H31 urinary tract infection strain led to a significant reduction in toxicity for mice, and its reintroduction on a recombinant plasmid partially restored the original toxicity. Although introduction of the cloned plasmid pHiy152-encoded hly determinant into the Hly- E. coli 06 mutant strain increased toxicity by only a marginal degree, transformation with the cloned chromosomal hly determinants from two E. coli strains of serotypes 018ac:K5:H- and 075:K95:H? resulted in markedly greater toxicity, even exceeding that of the original Hly+ E. coli 06 wild-type strain.},
