Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) are a major cause of diarrhoea worldwide. Due to their heterogeneity and carriage in healthy individuals, identification of diagnostic virulence markers for pathogenic strains has been difficult.

SUMMARY. Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) represents a heterogeneous group of E. coli strains. The pathogenicity and clinical relevance of these bacteria are still controversial. In this review, we describe the clinical significance of EAEC regarding patterns of infection in humans, transmission, reservoirs, and symptoms.
E coli belonging to this category cause watery diarrhoea, which is often persistent and can be inflammatory. EAEC have been implicated in sporadic diarrhoea in children and adults, in both developing and developed countries, and have been identified as the cause of several outbreaks worldwide.

Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) has been implicated as a common cause of diarrhea in multiple settings and associated with linear growth faltering among children in low-income countries. Unlike other E. coli pathotypes EAEC stands alone in employing a phenotypic, rather than genotypic, definition.
20 wrz 2018 · Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC, formerly known as “EAggEC”) cause acute or persistent watery diarrhoea (with or without mucus) in children, predominantly in low-income countries, and are associated with travellers’ diarrhoea in children and adults in middle and high income countries.
11 mar 2010 · The present review updates the current knowledge on the epidemiology, chronic complications, detection, virulence factors, and treatment of EAEC, an emerging enteric food borne pathogen. 1. Introduction. Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) are the most common bacterial pathogens implicated in diarrhea worldwide.
