Distribution of E. coli pathotypes isolated from hospital wastewater over one month.
Enteroinvasive E. coli and Enteropathogenic E. coli were not detected during the study. Key: ETEC–Enterotoxigenic E. coli; EAEC–Enteroaggregative E. coli; EHEC–Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli; DEC- diarrhoeagenic E. coli.

A modern view of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli — a causative agent of acute intestinal infections
Acute intestinal infections caused by Escherichia coli affect the gastrointestinal tract, leading to development of diarrheal syndrome, intoxication, and, in some cases, generalization of the pathological process. Diarrheagenic E.

Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli Have Evolved Independently as Distinct Complexes within the E. coli Population with Varying Ability to Cause Disease [PDF]
Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) is an established diarrhoeagenic pathotype. The association with virulence gene content and ability to cause disease has been studied but little is known about the population structure of EAEC and how this pathotype evolved.

Improved detection of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli using formalin-fixed HEp-2 cells
Certain strains of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli cause detachment of HEp-2 cells during adhesion tests, preventing observation of the aggregative adherent phenotype.

Distribution of aggA and aafA gene sequences among Escherichia coli isolates with genotypic or phenotypic characteristics, or both, of enteroaggregative E. coli [PDF]
Two types of fimbriae, designated aggregative adherence fimbria I and II (AAF/I and AAF/II) have been described in enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) strains. These fimbriae mediate the aggregative pattern of adherence (AA) to epithelial cells.

Characterisation of strains of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli isolated during the infectious intestinal disease study in England. [PDF]
Strains of Escherichia coli, hybridising with a DNA probe for enteroaggregative E. coli (EAggEC), were isolated from patients with infectious intestinal disease (IID) or gastro-enteritis, and healthy controls during the study of IID in England.

Evaluation of the frequency of Escherichia coli pathogroups in Brassica oleracea cultivars
Background and Objectives: Pathogenic diseases resulting from microbial contamination of food have been widely distributed in many parts of the world. Among these, Escherichia coli is one of the most important foodborne pathogenic bacteria.

Fitness of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC)/Enteroaggregative E. coli O104:H4 in Comparison to That of EHEC O157: Survival Studies in Food and In Vitro. [PDF]
ABSTRACT In 2011, one of the world's largest outbreaks of hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) occurred, caused by a rare Escherichia coli serotype, O104:H4, that shared the virulence profiles of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC)/enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC)
