TL;DR: EPEC and ETEC are important causes of acute diarrhea in children in this setting and peaked during warm months, suggesting that EPEC strains of only the traditional serogroups were significantly associated with diarrhea.

TL;DR: It is concluded that at least some strains of H. alvei have the potential to cause diarrhea and that attachment-effacement is a virulence characteristic shared by bacteria other than E. coli.

TL;DR: Seven strains of Hafnia alvei isolated from diarrhoeal stools of children resembled enteropathogenic Escherichia coli in that they produced attaching-effacing (AE) lesions in rabbit ileal loops and fluorescent actin staining in infected HEp-2 cells, indicating that there is a sharing of virulence-associated properties at the phenotypic and genetic levels by H.Alvei and EPEC.

TL;DR: It is suggested that enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis may also be an important diarrheal pathogen in other geographic areas and in the developing world where diarrhea is highly endemic.

TL;DR: Some strains of P. alcalifaciens are enteropathogenic and that they cause diarrhea by invading the intestinal mucosal epithelium, however, the relevance to human disease of the hindlimb paralysis observed in this animal model is not clear.
