High genetic diversity among diarrheagenic Escherichia coli isolates from patients with acute diarrhea in Khuzestan province, Southwestern Iran

Conclusion: The current study provides novel information about the presence of DEC isolates particularly with the rate of high antibiotic resistance among acute diarrheal samples in Khuzestan, Iran. Our data revealed that there was almost high heterogeneity among isolated DEC pathotypes. Proper infection control policies are needed to be implemented in order for the infections to be effectively controlled.
