Scope note: Cepas de ESCHERICHIA COLI caracterizadas porque se adhieren y desdibujan la estructura histológica. Son bacterias que se adhieren íntimamente a la membrana de las células epiteliales produciendo borramiento de las microvellosidades. En los paises desarrollados se asocian a DIARREA INFANTIL y GASTROENTERITIS infantil y, en contraste con las cepas ECEH, no producen ENDOTOXINAS.

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.
