DISEASE: Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) infection

Entry

H00278                      Disease

Name

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) infection

Description

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) was the first pathotype of E. coli identified in the 1940s, and remains a common cause of infantile diarrhea in developing countries. EPEC and EHEC [DS:H00277] strains are characterized by the type III secretion system and its cognate effectors encoded in the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE), but EPEC does not release diffusible toxins.
