bacteria
ENTEROAGGREGATIVE E COLI (EAEC) Is associated with (more than 14 days) watery diarrhea, occasionally with blood and mucus. First recognized in infants and children. The EAEC pili (aggregative adherence fimbriae [AAF]) mediate tight adherence to the intestinal mucosa, but the A/E lesions of the EPEC and EHEC are not present. The tight adherence of EAEC provided a particularly effective mechanism for delivery of Stx to the intestinal ______
