How is EHEC transmitted and what is a symptom of the illness. Undercooked ground beef and raw milk (unpasteurized)
What is ETEC? What is it's primary virulence factor? enterotoxigenic E. coli; contains a enterotoxin similar to V. cholerae.
What is the EIEC and what is the main symptom? Enteroinvasive E. Coli; causes dysentery via direct penetration, invasion, and then destruction of intestinal mucosa.
