Abstract
A total of 19 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated as sole pathogen from children with diarrhoea were used to study their virulence mechanism using different assays. Eith strains of K. pneumoniae exhibited aggregative adherence that was distinct from the stacked brick enteroaggregative pattern shown by Escherichia coli. The study suggests the presence of a new virulence mechanism in the pathogenesis of Klebsiella-associated diarrhoea.
