Heterogeneous Virulence of Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli Strains Isolated from Children in Southwest Nigeria

Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) has been implicated in acute and persistent diarrhea, and most strains harbor a member of a partially-conserved plasmid family (called pAA). We studied EAEC isolated from Nigerian children aged
