The dispersin-encoding gene ( aap ) is not restricted to enteroaggregative Escherichia coli

Abstract The presence of the enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) virulence genes aatA , aap , and aggR was assayed in strains of different diarrheagenic E. coli pathotypes and nonpathogenic E. coli . The dispersin-encoding gene ( aap ) was detected in EAEC, diffusely adherent E. coli , and non...

Zusammenfassung:	Abstract The presence of the enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) virulence genes aatA , aap , and aggR was assayed in strains of different diarrheagenic E. coli pathotypes and nonpathogenic E. coli . The dispersin-encoding gene ( aap ) was detected in EAEC, diffusely adherent E. coli , and nonpathogenic E. coli , demonstrating that molecular diagnostics of EAEC based on aap detection may identify non-EAEC strains.
