ABSTRACT
The presence of the pathogenicity island (PAI) O122 genes,

(

),
sen
,
pagC
,
nleB
, and
nleE
, in typical and atypical enteropathogenic
Escherichia coli
(EPEC) strains was investigated. The simultaneous occurrence of all genes was statistically associated with diarrhea due to atypical EPEC. Detection of the complete PAI O122 could aid in the identification of potential pathogenic strains of atypical EPEC.
