Virulence gene profiles and molecular genetic characteristics of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli from a hospital in western China

Abstract Background Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) is one of the most important etiological agents of diarrheal diseases. In this study we investigated the prevalence, virulence gene profiles, antimicrobial resistance, and molecular genetic characteristics of DEC at a hospital in western China...
