Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC), an increasingly recognized cause of diarrhea in children in developing countries, has been particularly associated with persistent diarrhea (more than 14 days), a major cause of illness and death.
24 cze 2024 · When E. coli strains acquire certain additional genetic material, they can become pathogenic; these pathogenic clones circulate widely and are among the most virulent enteric pathogens. Diarrheagenic E. coli are among the most frequent bacterial causes of gastroenteritis worldwide.
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.
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.
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.
Review Enteroaggregative E coli 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. EAEC have been implicated in sporadic diarrhoea in children and adults, in both developing and developed
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.
