Abstrakt: ABSTRACTIn human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected adults from the Central African Republic, the occurrence of chronic diarrhea due to HEp-2 adherent Escherichia coli(EAEC) harboring virulence markers (eaeA, BFP, EAF, astAdeterminant of EAST/1, positive FAS test, enteropathogenic E. coliO serogroup) was shown to be associated with AIDS. We also show that EAEC that produce verotoxin (Stx2) but do not harbor the genetic markers for classical enterohemorrhagic E. coliare involved in hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic-uremic syndrome in patients with HIV.
