MeSH Heading: Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli
Tree Number(s): B03.440.450.425.325.300.330; B03.660.250.150.180.100.330
Unique ID: D054308
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D054308
Annotation: infection: coordinate IM with ESCHERICHIA COLI INFECTIONS (IM)
Scope Note: Strains of ESCHERICHIA COLI characterized by attaching-and-effacing histopathology. These strains of bacteria intimately adhere to the epithelial cell membrane and show effacement of microvilli. In developed countries they are associated with INFANTILE DIARRHEA and infantile GASTROENTERITIS and, in contrast to ETEC strains, do not produce ENDOTOXINS.
Entry Term(s): E coli, Enteropathogenic; EPEC; Enteropathogenic E. coli; Escherichia coli, Enteropathogenic
