Abstract

Escherichia coli strains associated with diarrhea have been divided into the following six major categories on the basis of pathogenic mechanisms: enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC), enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), enteroaggregative E. coli (EAggEC) and diffusely adherent E. coli (DAEC).$\^$15,18/ EPEC, EAggEC, and DAEC strains were classified by their ability to produce distinct patterns of adherence to cultured epithelial cells in virto: localized (LA), aggregative (AA), and diffuse (DA) adherence. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship of the adherence patterns with AIDA-positive E. coli isolated from diarrheic pigs. (omitted)
