Seventy-six children &lt; or =2 years old were prospectively followed for 1 year in a peri-urban community of Mexico City to determine asymptomatic infection and acute diarrhea associated with diarrheagenic Escherichia coli pathotypes (DEPs). By use of a pathogen-specific multiplex PCR, DEPs were sought in 795 stool samples, of which 125 (16%) were positive for DEP; of these, 4 represented shedding episodes and 4 parasite coinfections. Most single-DEP infections (85/117) were asymptomatic (P &lt; 0.001), and of the 32 DEP diarrhea episodes, 41% were associated with atypical enteropathogenic E. coli (aEPEC), 37.5% with enterotoxigenic E. coli, 9% with typical EPEC, 9% with enteroinvasive E. coli, and 3% with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli strains. Among the 76 children, 54 had at least one stool positive for DEP, of which 23 experienced a DEP-associated diarrhea episode. In the last group of children, DEP infection was significantly associated with a diarrhea episode (relative risk [RR] = 2.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.79 to 3.57; P &lt; 0.001), with ETEC (RR = 2.30; 95% CI, 1.49 to 3.54; P = 0.003) and aEPEC (RR = 1.92; 95% CI, 1.23 to 3.0; P = 0.019) being the pathotypes associated with diarrhea. aEPEC-associated diarrhea episodes were frequently in the &lt;12-month age group (RR = 2.57; 95% CI, 1.05 to 6.27; P = 0.04). aEPEC infections were distributed all year round, but associated diarrheal episodes were identified from April to October, with a May-June peak (rainy season). Most ETEC infections and diarrhea episodes characteristically occurred during the summer (rainy season), with a diarrhea peak in August. Of all DEPs, only aEPEC was associated with acute diarrhea episodes lasting 7 to 12 days (P = 0.019). DEPs are important causes of community-acquired enteric infection and diarrhea in Mexican children.
