Abstract excerpt
Diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli strains of serotype O111:H12 are characterized by their aggregative pattern of adherence on cultured epithelial cells and thus are considered enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC). We have previously shown that these EAEC strains lack the genes encoding the aggregative fimbriae I and II described in other heterologous EAEC strains. In this paper, we show compelling data suggesting that...
