3ïžâ£ Diarrheagenic E. coli (6 Pathotypes)
A. ETEC (Enterotoxigenic)
- Travelerâs diarrhea #1 in Asia / Africa / S. America
- Pediatric in developing countries â æ»äº¡ cause
- LT (heat-labile, cAMPâ, cholera-like) + ST (heat-stable, cGMPâ)
- æ°Žç, ç¡ç / è¡
- Tx: ORS + azithromycin 1 g à 1 (preferred in Asia FQ-R Campy); rifaximin alt
B. EPEC (Enteropathogenic)
- Pediatric < 2 yr in developing countries; outbreaks in daycare
- âAttaching-effacingâ lesion â villus blunting
- Watery diarrhea ± fever
- Self-limit; severe / persistent â TMP-SMX or azithromycin
C. EIEC (Enteroinvasive)
- Shigella-like (genetic similar)
- Dysentery: è¡äŸ¿ + ç + tenesmus
- Invades colonic epithelium
- Tx: azithromycin or ciprofloxacin (Shigella-like algorithm)
D. EAEC (Enteroaggregative)
- æçº watery diarrhea (> 14 d)
- HIV / immunocompromised chronic
- Pediatric malnutrition
- Aggregative adherence (âstacked brickâ)
- Tx: ciprofloxacin or rifaximin
E. STEC / EHEC (Shiga toxin-producing / Enterohemorrhagic)
- O157:H7 most famous; non-O157 increasing (O26, O111, O45, O121, O103, O145 â âBig 6â)
- Cattle reservoir; undercooked beef, raw milk, contaminated produce, water
- Outbreaks (Jack in the Box 1993, German 2011 sprouts)
- è¡äŸ¿, severe cramping, NO fever or low (vs Shigella/Salm é«ç)
- HUS in 5-10% (children, elderly higher risk)
- HUS triad: hemolytic anemia + thrombocytopenia + AKI
- NO ANTIBIOTIC (worsens HUS â antibiotic â SOS response â â Shiga toxin release)
- NO antimotility (loperamide â toxin retention)
- Tx: supportive + monitor for HUS; eculizumab for severe atypical HUS
F. DAEC (Diffusely Adherent)
- å
ç«¥ persistent diarrhea

4ïžâ£ Other Enterobacteriaceae
Klebsiella (Ch 168 detail)

žç/ç³å°¿ç
éè¯)
- CRE äž»èŠ â KPC carbapenemase
- Tx: 3rd ceph (åºç€); CRE â CAZ-AVI / cefiderocol
Enterobacter
- AmpC β-lactamase chromosomal inducible â 絊 3rd-gen ceph æ worry of inducing resistance
- Treatment: cefepime, carbapenem (avoid ceftriaxone alone)
Citrobacter
- AmpC similar to Enterobacter
- Treatment: cefepime / carbapenem
Serratia
- Lactose - (some), pink / red pigment
- Nosocomial, UTI, line bacteremia
- AmpC similar
- Treatment: cefepime / carbapenem
Proteus mirabilis
