Distribution of genes encoding virulence factors and multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) of entero-aggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) isolated in Iran from patients with diarrhoea.

CONCLUSION: This study showed that EAEC is a heterogeneous group of E. coli possessing a broad range of virulence factors. There was no notable association between MLVA patterns and virulence profiles. PMID: 29969089 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
