Abstract excerpt
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) are etiologic agents of diarrhea. The EAEC category is heterogeneous, but most in-depth experimentation has focused on prototypical strain, 042. We hypothesized that 60A, another EAEC strain, might posses virulence or fitness genes that 042 does not have. Through subtractive hybridization we identified 60A-specific sequences, including loci present in other E. coli and...
