This is a real-world medical entrance exam question, please give the true answer based on the question and selection. Topic name: Systemic Bacteriology (Gram Positive Bacilli, Gram Negative Bacilli), Subject name: Microbiology
All statements are true except, 
Select and explain. 
A. EAEC is associated with persistent diarrhea, B. EHEC can cause HUS, C. EIEC produce disease similar to salmonellosis, D. ETEC is a common cause of traveler's diarrhea
C: EIEC produce disease similar to salmonellosis
Answer: C: EIEC produce disease similar to salmonellosis 
Explanation: EIEC produce disease similar to shigellosis, i.e. invasion of mucosa. OPTION 1 Persistent diarrhea especially in developing countries is most often caused by EAEC. OPTION 2 Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC): Serotypes associated with EHEC are: - O157: H7 (most common serotype). - Manifestations: HC (hemorrhagic colitis) and Hemorrhagic uremic syndrome (HUS). OPTION 3 EIEC produce disease similar to shigellosis, i.e. invasion of mucosa. - EIEC show atypical biochemistry (biochemically similar to Shigella spp. i.e, NLF, anaerogenic and non-motile) -Atypical E. coli. OPTION 4 ETEC is the most common cause of traveler's diarrhea.
