Detection of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli in faecal samples from patients in the community with diarrhoea
9 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of a multiplex PCR assay targeting the aat, aaiA and astA genes for the detection of typical and atypical enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) in bacterial cultures from faecal samples from patients with community-acquired diarrhoea. The isolates harbouring these genes were also tested using the HEp-2 cell-adhesion assay to clarify their EAEC status. aat,...
