Comparative genetic characterization of Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli strains recovered from clinical and non-clinical settings
11 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
The origin of pathogenic Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC), a major causative agent of childhood diarrhea worldwide, remains ill-defined. The objective of this study was to determine the relative prevalence of EAEC in clinical and non-clinical sources and compare their genetic characteristics in order to identify strains that rarely and commonly cause human diarrhea. The virulence gene astA was commonly...
