Identification of a hybrid atypical enteropathogenic and enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (aEPEC/EAEC) clone of serotype O3:H2 associated with a diarrheal outbreak in Brazil

Enteropathogenic (EPEC) and enteroaggregative (EAEC) Escherichia coli are two of the major pathotypes of diarrheagenic E. coli causing disease worldwide. Here, we report a diarrheal outbreak caused by E. coli of serotype O3:H2, harboring virulence markers from EPEC ( eae ) and/or EAEC ( aggR ). This...

Zusammenfassung:	Enteropathogenic (EPEC) and enteroaggregative (EAEC) Escherichia coli are two of the major pathotypes of diarrheagenic E. coli causing disease worldwide. Here, we report a diarrheal outbreak caused by E. coli of serotype O3:H2, harboring virulence markers from EPEC ( eae ) and/or EAEC ( aggR ). This is likely the first E. coli diarrheal outbreak caused by a hybrid atypical-EPEC/EAEC clone reported in Brazil.
