| description | This study determined the frequency of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) infections in 386 infants with acute diarrohea. The age of infants ranged from 1-36 months, The patients were admitted to the consultants clinics or hospital in Falluja, during the period from May 2005 to February 2006. Rectal swabs and stool specimens were cultured. Serological investigation were done by specific kit. EPEC were found in 79 case (20.46%). The most prevalent serotypes were 0119k69 (22.78%) and 0111k58 (15.18%). High incidence of infants were observed at below 6 months of age (26.12%) and tended to be during the summer months (24.35%). Lower incidence were observed in breast- feeding infants (11.7%) as compare with bottel- feeding (25.62%) or mixed one(17.64%). |
