MeSH Heading: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
Tree Number(s): B03.440.450.425.325.300.340; B03.660.250.150.180.100.340
Unique ID: D054307
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D054307
Annotation: infection: coordinate IM with ESCHERICHIA COLI INFECTION (IM)
Scope Note: Strains of ESCHERICHIA COLI that produce or contain at least one member of either heat-labile or heat-stable ENTEROTOXINS. The organisms colonize the mucosal surface of the small intestine and elaborate their enterotoxins causing DIARRHEA. They are mainly associated with tropical and developing countries and affect susceptible travelers to those places.
Entry Term(s): E coli, Enterotoxigenic; ETEC; Enterotoxigenic E. coli; Escherichia coli, Enterotoxigenic
Previous Indexing: Escherichia coli (1971-2007)
