Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that some Escherichia coli strains isolated from children with diarrhea present the so-called 'localized and diffused adherence (LA/DA) pattern' in which both localized adherence (LA) and diffused adherence (DA) are expressed simultaneously. In the present study, we show that the LA adherence of these strains is genetically and phenotypically similar to that so far described for...
