This study was conducted to characterize virulence genes of  Escherichia coli  isolates from water, sediment, fish, and crab in Aby Lagoon. Serogrouping was performed by EPEC antisera in 113  E. coli  strains. The presence of diarrhea-associated genes  (eae, stx, AggR, elt,  and  est)  was assessed by multiplex PCR using specific primers. Based on the multiplex PCR, sixty-two isolates (42 from water, 19 from sediment, and 1 from crab) were positive for virulence genes, including 34 positive for  elt  (ETEC), 46 positive for  est  (ETEC), 24 positive for both  elt  and  est,  6 positive for  stx  (EHEC), 1 positive for both  stx  +  est , and 1 positive for both  stx  +  elt.  Genes  eae  (EPEC) and  AggR  (EAEC) were not detected. Nine serogroups (O114, O127, O55, O111, O86, O119, O126, O128, and O142) were identified. This study revealed the presence of diarrheagenic and nondiarrheagenic  E. coli  and potential public health risks if fishery products are not appropriately cooked.
