(B and C answer)
CHOLERA LIKE
ENTEROTOXIGENIC E. COLI ETEC
bloody diarrhea
ENTEROINVASIVE E. COLI EIEC
Non-toxigenic and non-invasive but can cause diarrhea in infants / infantile diarrhea
E. coli serotype 0111
ENTEROPATHOGENIC E. COLI EPEC
Can cause acute & persistent diarrhea in children and adults
ENTEROAGGREGATIVE E. COLI EAEC
This constitutes the 6th group in the diarrheagenic E. coli.
Can cause diarrhea in otherwise healthy patrients
DIFFUSELY ADHERENT E. COLI DAEC
Can cause SEVERE BLOOD DIARRHEA due to its ability to produce VEROTOXIN HUS -hemolytic uremic syndrome, Most severe manifestation of EHEC
Specific example is E. coli 0157:H7 (Mug Test - Negative)
} persistent pediatric diarrhea
eating poorly cooked meal like hamburger
