J.Background Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) have been associated with mildly inflammatory diarrhea in outbreaks and in travelers and have been increasingly recognized as enteric pathogens in young children with and without overt diarrhea. We examined the risk factors for EAEC infections and their associations with environmental enteropathy biomarkers and growth outcomes over the first two years of life in eight...

Kosek, Margaret N.; Ahmed, Tahmeed; Bhutta, Zulfiquar; Caulfield, Laura; Guerrant, Richard; Houpt, Eric; Kang, Gagandeep; Lee, Gwenyth; Lima, AldoBackground: Environmentalenteropathy (EE),the adverseimpact offrequent and numerous entericinfections on the gut resulting in a state of persistent immune activation and altered permeability, has been proposed as a key determinant of growth failure in children in low- and middle-income populations. A theory-driven systems model to critically evaluate pathways through which enteropathogens, gut permeability, and...
