Abstract
In this report, we analyzed the prevalence of the sat gene in 336 Escherichia coli samples collected from stools of children with and without diarrhea in Brazil and in 100 uropathogenic E. coli strains. The results show a high correlation between diffusely adhering E. coli (DAEC) and the presence of sat (44%) in intestinal isolates. DAEC strain FBC114 expresses a 107-kDa protein, which showed 98% homology with Sat.Keywords
