<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p> Virulence characteristics of diarrheal outbreak-associated <jats:italic>Escherichia coli</jats:italic> O55:NM, O126:NM, and O111:NM were examined. The <jats:italic>E. coli</jats:italic> O55:NM strains were atypical enteropathogenic <jats:italic>E. coli</jats:italic> (EPEC), while the <jats:italic>E. coli</jats:italic> O126:NM and O111:NM strains should be classified as enteroaggregative <jats:italic>E. coli</jats:italic> (EAggEC). The contributions of EPEC and EAggEC to the human disease burden in Japan might be significantly greater than is currently appreciated. </jats:p>
