Abstract

ABSTRACT Autotransporter (AT) protein-encoding genes of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) pathotypes ( cah , eatA , ehaABCDJ , espC , espI , espP , pet , pic , sat , and tibA ) were detected in typical and atypical enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) in frequencies between 0.8% and 39.3%. Although these ATs have been described in particular DEC pathotypes, their presence in EPEC indicates that they should not be considered specific virulence markers.
