Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC or EAggEC) are a pathotype of Escherichia coli which cause acute and chronic diarrhea in both the developed and developing world. [1] [2] They may also cause urinary tract infections. [2]EAEC are defined by their "stacked-brick" pattern of adhesion to the human laryngeal epithelial cell line HEp-2. [3] The pathogenesis of EAEC involves the aggregation ...
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.
Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) are emerging pathogens most commonly associated with acute and persistent paediatric diarrhoea and growth retardation in developing nations 1. In addition, EAEC are a major cause of acute diarrhoea in travellers to developing countries 2 and persistent enteric infection in HIV/AIDS patients 3.
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) 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 · Although not all EAEC infections result in symptomatic illness, the most commonly reported symptoms are watery diarrhea with or without blood and mucus, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and low-grade fever [22]. EAEC can cause both an acute and a chronic (>14 days) diarrheal illness.
