Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was determined using the Kirby\u2013Bauer method. Molecular analyses were performed to confirm the presence of virulence and antibiotic resistance genes. Biofilm formation was determined using a semiquantified microtiter plate assay, and optical density measurements were used to classify the isolates into weak, moderate, and strong biofilm producers. Biofilm structure was observed using field-emission scanning electron microscopy. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software version 16 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA), and data were analyzed and presented in terms of frequency and percentage.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The frequencies of\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">fimH<\/jats:italic>\n                      ,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">mrkD<\/jats:italic>\n                      ,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">mrkA<\/jats:italic>\n                      ,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">wcaG<\/jats:italic>\n                      , and\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">magA<\/jats:italic>\n                      were 98.4%, 96.8%, 77.7%, 61.9%, and 7.9%, respectively.
