With reference to Escherichia coli infections, the following are true, EXCEPT:
Enteroinvasive E. Coli shares many genetic and clinical features with Shigella not salmonella. Enterotoxins produced by it initially induce secretory small-bowel diarrhea. Subsequently it colonize and invades the colonic mucosa resulting in the development of inflammatory colitis characterized by fever, abdominal pain, tenesmus, and scant stool containing mucus, blood, and inflammatory cells. Symptoms are usually self-limited (7-10 days). Ref: Harrisons Internal Medicine, 18th Edition, Chapter 149
Enteroaggregative E. coli is associated with Persistant diarrhoea
Enterohemorrhagic E. coli can cause haemolytic uraemic syndrome
Enteroinvasive E. coli produces a disease similar to salmonellosis
Enterotoxigenic E. coli is a common cause of travelers' diarrhoea
