The pathogenicity of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli

1999-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Strains of enteroaggregative E. scherichia colt (EAggEC), characterised by their pattern of adhesion to HEp-2 cells known as the `stacked brick' formation, are a significant cause of chronic diarrhoea in certain under-developed countries. Strains of EAggEC are detected either by a HEp-2 adhesion cell test or by an `aggregative adhesion' gene probe. The pathogenic mechanisms expressed by EAggEC are only poorly unde...
