Abstract excerpt
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAggEC) is an important cause of diarrhea worldwide, and there is a need for better detection methods in diagnostic laboratories. The aims of this study were i) to characterize strains of EAggEC by assigning each isolate a genotypic profile and (ii) to determine target genes for the detection of both typical and atypical EAggEC. The heterogeneity of the EAggEC group makes...
