dc.description.abstractSeven strains of Hafnia alvei isolated from diarrhoeal stools of children resembled enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) in that they produced attaching-effacing (AE) lesions in rabbit ileal loops and fluorescent actin staining in infected HEp-2 cells. In addition, a DNA probe from a chromosomal gene required by EPEC to produce AE lesions, hybridised to chromosomal DNA from all seven H. alvei strains. These findings indicate that there is a sharing of virulence-associated properties at the phenotypic and genetic levels by H. alvei and EPEC. H. alvei strains with these properties should be considered diarrhoeagenicen
