Aggregative Adherence and Intestinal Colonization by Enteroaggregative <named-content content-type="genus-species">Escherichia coli</named-content> Are Produced by Interactions among Multiple Surface Factors

ABSTRACT Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) bacteria are exceptional colonizers that are associated with diarrhea. The genome of EAEC strain 042, a diarrheal pathogen validated in a human challenge study, encodes multiple colonization factors. Notable among them are aggregative adherence fimb...
