摘要

Escherichia coli is both the most abundant facultativecommensal of the human gastrointestinal tract and themost common bacterial cause of human diarrhea (1).However, precise recognition of E. coli pathotypesremains problematic. Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC),classically associated with outbreaks of infant diarrhea,harbors distinctive chromosomal (the locus of enterocyteeffacement, or LEE island) and plasmidborne (residing onthe EPEC adherence factor, or EAF, plasmid) virulencefactors, which are linked by common gene regulators (1).At the Second International Conference on EPEC, held inS.o Paulo, Brazil, in 1995, the foremost authorities in thefield proclaimed the global importance of such "typical"EPEC (tEPEC) but pondered the clinical relevance ofstrains carrying only the LEE island (dubbed at that con-ference "atypical EPEC," or aEPEC) (2). Had aEPEC lostthe EAF plasmid. Had it incidentally acquired only frag-ments or incomplete packages of virulence-associatedgenes. Or were some aEPEC true pathogens of humans oranimals.
