Summary
Background: Adherent invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) are implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) particularly Crohn's disease (CD). The aim of this study is to isolate, identify, genotype, and characterize the virulence factors and the clinical significance of AIEC strains.
