Diarrheagenic E. coli (DEC) are the important etiological agent of diarrhea caused by bacteria in children living in developing countries, and are an important problem of public health in Ecuador. Due to their heterogenic distribution according to zone and the studied time, it is critical to monitor the presence of different pathotypes and their association with cases of diarrhea, especially in rural areas. A case-control study using fecal samples of 501 individuals (256 cases and 245 controls) from which E. coli strains where isolated and pathotype specific genes were amplified...
