Enteropathogenic (EPEC) and enteroaggregative (EAEC) Escherichia coli are two of the major pathotypes of diarrheagenic E. coli causing disease worldwide. Here, we report a diarrheal outbreak caused by E. coli of serotype O3:H2, harboring virulence markers from EPEC (eae) and/or EAEC (aggR). This is likely the first E. coli diarrheal outbreak caused by a hybrid atypical-EPEC/EAEC clone reported in Brazil.
