Outer membrane-associated proteins of 18 kDa were expressed by enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAggEC) belonging to serotypes O126:H27 and O44:H18, which hybridized with a probe derived from a plasmid necessary for enteroaggregative adhesion. The 18 kDa proteins expressed by strains of E. coli, belonging to these serotypes, were surface exposed and antigenically similar but not structurally identical.
