Identification of Virulence Genes Linked with Diarrhea Due to Atypical Enteropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> by DNA Microarray Analysis and PCR
1 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
The role of atypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) in childhood diarrhea is controversial. The aim of the present study was to search for genes linked with diarrhea in atypical EPEC strains from a case-control study among Norwegian children. Using DNA microarray analysis, genomic DNAs from strains isolated from children with (n = 37) and without (n = 20) diarrhea were hybridized against 242 different...
