Definition

Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli are a pathotype of Escherichia coli which cause acute and chronic diarrhea in both the developed and developing world.[1][2]Awareness of EAEC was increased by a serious outbreak in Germany during 2011, causing over 5000 cases and at least 50 fatalities.[3][4] The putative cause of the outbreak were sprouted fenugreek seeds.[5]

Signs and symptoms

Enteroaggregative Escheichia coli is a type of strain from E.coli, which causes intestinal infections. Some intestinal infections include diarrhea, fever and abdominal pain. More severe cases can lead to bloody diarrhea, dehydration or even kidney failure.[2]

Pathophysiology

EAEC is transmitted through the fecal-oral route and primarily contaminated by food and water.[6] Because many strains of EAEC have been identified, it is difficult to identify the mechanism of its pathogenesis. Most candidate virulence genes are not always connected with disease.[7]

Diagnosis

The diagnosis of this infection is done via an adherence assay, and the polymerase chain reaction technique where genes of EAEC are amplified.[8]

Treatment 1

Antibiotics are a type of medicine that is used to destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganisms,[9] studies have suggested that fluoroquinolones, especially ciprofloxacin, may be the most effective antibiotic when treating Enteroaggregative E.coli infections[10]

Treatment 2

For most people treatments include, rest and the intake of fluids. Individuals with profuse diarrhea or vomit, should be rehydrated by drinking much water or by drinking rehydration solutions such as Rehydralyte or Pedialyte.[11]

History

In 1885, the German-Austrian pediatrician Theodor Escherich discovered this organism, E. Coli, in the feces of healthy individuals. He called it Bacterium coli commune because it is found in the colon. Early classifications of prokaryotes placed these in a handful of genera based on their shape and motility.[12][13][14]Enteroaggregative Escheichia coli (EAEC) was first found in 1987, in a child in Lima, Peru.[15]
