Eighty-eight Escherichia coli strains of the enteropathogenic (EPEC) group O114 that were isolated from humans and animals in geographically different places and over more than 30 years were examined for virulence markers, O:H serotypes, and for electrophoretic types by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis. Four major genetically tightly related clusters of strains showed close correlation between electrophoretic...
