Characterization of Enteroadherent-Aggregative Escherichia coli, a Putative Agent of Diarrheal Disease
Abstract
Escherichia coli that exhibit the aggregative pattern of adherence to HEp-2 cells (enteroadherent-aggregative E. coli [EA-AggEC]) have been epidemiologically incriminated as a cause of diarrhea. We undertook a preliminary microbiological and pathogenetic characterization of 42 isolates of this putative pathogen. The strains were negative by tests with DNA probes for enteropathogenic, enterotoxigenic, enteroinvasive, and enterohemorrhagic E. coli and, by serotype, did not fit these categories. Thirty-nine of 42 strains had a 55-65-megadalton plasmid; many shared DNA homology. With one representative strain, plasmid transfer was accompanied by transfer of smooth lipopolysaccharide, fimbriae expression, and the aggregative property. EA-AggEC caused characteristic lesions in rabbit and rat ileal loops. The intestinal lesions and (Shiga-like) limb paralysis and death in rabbits inoculated with live organisms suggest toxin involvement; assays for Shiga-like toxins were negative. These preliminary results support the contention that EA-AggEC may represent a distinct category of diarrheagenic E. coli.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
