Abstract
ABSTRACT
O125 is an enteropathogenic
Escherichia coli
(EPEC) serogroup, which includes the O125ac:H6 serotype, defined as atypical EPEC. Strains of this serotype displayed the aggregative adherence (AA) pattern with HEp-2, Caco-2, T84, and HT-29 cells, possessed all the LEE region genes, and expressed intimin, Tir, and EspABD, although the attaching-effacing lesion was not detected in vitro. These results confirm that
E. coli
O125ac:H6 is atypical EPEC that displays the AA pattern and indicate the necessity of testing for EPEC genes combined with the determination of the adherence pattern for atypical EPEC identification.
