Characterization of Enteropathogenic and Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli Isolated from Diarrheal Outbreaks
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Virulence characteristics of diarrheal outbreak-associated Escherichia coli O55:NM, O126:NM, and O111:NM were examined. The E. coli O55:NM strains were atypical enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), while the E. coli O126:NM and O111:NM strains should be classified as enteroaggregative E. coli (EAggEC).
