Ruminants are not a reservoir of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT: Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) causes both acute and persistent diarrhoea among children and adults in developing and developed countries. In addition, the large outbreak of food-borne illness in Europe in the summer of 2011 was caused by a verotoxin-producing EAEC O104:H4 strai...
