A NEW DIAAHEA PATHOGEN: ENTERO-ADHERENT-INVASIVE-TOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI

摘要

Infectious diarrhea has long been a major public health problem in developing countries as well as in China. The major etiological agent diarrheagenic Escherichia coli has been defined as five major categories: enterotoxigenic E.coli (ETEC), enteropatho-genic E.coli (EPEC), enteroinvasive E.coli (EIEC), enterohemorrhagic E.coli (EHEC) and enteroagg-regative E.coli (EAggEC). We recently isolated the sixth category diarrheagenic E.coli, named as entero-adherent-invasive-toxigenic E.coli (EAITEC).
