Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on entero-aggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC), a major cause of diarrhea in children, and investigated the presence of virulence factor genes in EAEC strains from Iran.
- - A total of 37 isolates were analyzed for 11 virulence genes using PCR, revealing that pic, set1A, and set1B were the most common genes found.
- - The 37 EAEC isolates displayed significant genetic diversity, categorized into 32 types and five clonal complexes, indicating a complex relationship between virulence and genetic patterns.
