Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) are an increasingly important cause of diarrhoea. E coli belonging to this category cause watery diarrhoea, which is often persistent and can be inflammatory.
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.
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is a subgroup of diarrhoeagenic E. coli (DEC) that during the past decade has received increasing attention as a cause of watery diarrhoea, which is often persistent. EAEC have been isolated from children and adults worldwide.
In this review, we describe the clinical significance of EAEC regarding patterns of infection in humans, transmission, reservoirs, and symptoms. Manifestations associated with EAEC infection include watery diarrhea, mucoid diarrhea, low-grade fever, nausea, tenesmus, and borborygmi.
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.
15 sie 2010 · Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) was first described in 1987 [1] in a child with acute diarrhea in Lima, Peru, and has since been linked with persistent diarrhea in children living in areas where EAEC is endemic [2], individuals with human immunodeficiency virus infection [3], and as a cause of diarrhea in travelers from industrialized ...
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.
