Abstract
A total of 102 Hafnia alvei clinical strains isolated from different patients with diarrhea has been tested, using polymerase chain reaction and dot-blot hybridization, for the enteropathogenic Escherichia coli attaching and effacing A (eaeA) gene to establish their role as a causative agent of diarrhea in our environment. None of them was positive for the eaeA gene. We cannot consider the eaeA gene as the virulence-associated factor implicated in the H. alvei strains isolated from diarrheal feces in our region.
