The virulence profiles of most atypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) strains are unknown. A total of 118 typical and atypical strains of EPEC serotypes and non-EPEC serogroups isolated from children with or without acute diarrhea who were from different cities in Brazil were examined for virulence-associated markers and adherence to HEp-2 cells, and also had random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)...
