Abstract

The characterization of nine atypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strains expressing localized adherence in HeLa cells in the absence of the bundle-forming pilus revealed a diversity of serotypes, plasmids, and virulence genes. Although the strains lacked known E. coli adhesin genes, the identification of new adhesins could contribute to the characterization of similar enteropathogenic E. coli isolates.
