Escherichia coli enterotoxigénica
Scope note: Cepas de ESCHERICHIA COLI que producen o contienen al menos un miembro de las ENTEROTOXINAS lábiles o estables frente al calor. Los microorganismos colonizan la superficie mucosa del intestino delgado y elaboran enterotoxinas que producen DIARREA. Ocurren principalmente en paises tropicales y en vías de desarrollo y afectan a los viajeros a esos lugares susceptibles.

Scope note: Strains of ESCHERICHIA COLI that produce or contain at least one member of either heat-labile or heat-stable ENTEROTOXINS. The organisms colonize the mucosal surface of the small intestine and elaborate their enterotoxins causing DIARRHEA. They are mainly associated with tropical and developing countries and affect susceptible travelers to those places.
