Le nouveau système de classification fait la distinction entre quatre classes d'E. coli à partir des différents mécanismes pathogéniques : l'E. coli entéropathogène (ECEP) (ou E. coli entéroadhérent [ECEA]), l'E. coli entérohémorragique (ECEH), l'E. coli entérotoxinogène (ECET) et l'E. coli entéroenvahissant (ECEE). Chacune des classes possède son propre degré de virulence, ses tableaux cliniques, ses caractéristiques épidémiologiques et son programme thérapeutique. S'ils sont vérotoxinogènes, ils peuvent être désignés sous le nom d'ECVT. 4, record 1, French, - colibacille

The twenty amino acids found in nature are all playing a vital role in the survival and proliferation of the cell. An important aspect of the biological scientist's research is how these amino acids are utilised by the cell and particularly which enzymes are involved in these processes and how. Our main interest is focusing on the aromatic amino acids' metabolism and more specifically in a family of enzymes involved in this metabolism, the aromatic amino acid hydroxylases ... 2, record 4, English, - aromatic%20amino%20acid
