These bacteria may all be cousins—but their crimes are different. Here's how to ID them fast: 👶 EPEC – Pediatric diarrhea, flattens villi, no toxins 🛸 EIEC – Invades colonic mucosa, dysentery leukocytes 🍔 EHEC – Undercooked meat → HUS Shiga-like toxin ✈️ ETEC – Traveler’s diarrhea with heat-labile & heat-stable toxins 🧪 All are gram-negative, pink on MacConkey, and catalase oxidase – but only some go rogue with toxins and bloody stools. 🎯 Picture the sketch, lock the subtype. #drhavicandbro
