title: Diarrheogenic Escherichia coli.
abstract: The diarrheogenic E coli are currently difficult to diagnose and treat. For physicians in the United States, they are primarily a concern in children returning from international travel. The exception to this generalization is STEC, which, because of the low inoculum, ease of transmission, and serious consequences, are important pathogens in the United States.
