Learn about EAEC, a pathotype of E. coli that causes diarrhea and urinary tract infections. Find out how EAEC adheres to intestinal cells, produces toxins, and is transmitted through contaminated food or water.
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.
4 maj 2020 · 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...
EAEC are a heterogeneous group of E coli that cause watery diarrhoea, often persistent, in children and adults. They adhere to epithelial cells in a stacked-brick pattern and have various virulence factors, but diagnosis is challenging and treatment is limited.
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. Therefore, the lack of a formally recognized ...
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.
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. In this study, we ...
