Categories in E. coli Infections
- E. coli infections may be categorized into either enteric, uropathogenic, meningitis- and sepsis-associated, and other extraintestinal:
- Enteric (Diarrheagenic): Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), enterotoxicogenic E. coli (ETEC), enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC), and diffusely adherent E. coli (DAEC)
- Uropathogenic: Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC)
- Meningitis- and sepsis-associated: Meningitis-associated E. coli (MNEC)
- Other extraintestinal: Extraintestinal E. coli (ExPEC)
List of Organ-Based E. coli Infections
- E. coli is often the causative pathogen responsible for the following diseases:
