Abstract excerpt
In this study 98 Escherichia coli strains which belonged to traditional enteropathogenic (EPEC) serotypes and 82 enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) strains were screened by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the presence of E. coli-attaching and -effacing (eae) genes. These strains were also hybri...
