Association of Putative Enteroaggregative <i>Escherichia coli</i> Virulence Genes and Biofilm Production in Isolates from Travelers to Developing Countries
9 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is an emerging enteric pathogen that causes acute and chronic diarrhea among children, human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients, and travelers to developing regions of the world. The pathogenesis of EAEC strains involves the production of biofilm. In this study, we determined the association between presence of putative EAEC virulence genes and biofilm formation in...
