Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli in sub-Saharan Africa: Status, Uncertainties and Necessities

Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli in sub-Saharan Africa: Status, Uncertainties and Necessities

Diarrhea is a leading cause of illness and death, particularly in developing countries. Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), enteroinvasive E. coli, enterohemorrhaghic E. coli (EHEC), enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) and diffusely adherent E. coli (DAEC) have been ass...
