Distribution of SPATEs among intestinal and extra-intestinal pathogenic E. coli. SPATEs have been found not only in all recognized intestinal E. coli pathotypes (highlighted in orange) but also in extra-intestinal E. coli pathotypes (highlighted in yellow). The recent availability of many more bacterial genome sequences, has led to identification of new and previously described SPATE proteins among both human and animal pathogens, including Salmonella, Citrobacter, and Edwarsiella, as well as some commensal E. coli strains. (APEC, Avian pathogenic E. coli; DAEC, Diffuse Adhering E. coli; UPEC, Uropathogenic E. coli; NMEC, Neonatal meningitis E. coli; EAEC, Enteroaggregative E. coli; EHEC, Enterohemorrhagic E. coli; EPEC; Enteropathogenic E. coli, ETEC, Enterotoxigenic E. coli).
