Definition
English
:
Strains of
ESCHERICHIA COLI
characterized by attaching-and-effacing histopathology. These strains of
bacteria
intimately adhere to the epithelial
cell membrane
and show effacement of
microvilli
. In
developed countries
they are associated with INFANTILE
DIARRHEA
and infantile
GASTROENTERITIS
and, in contrast to ETEC strains, do not produce
ENDOTOXINS.
