The different E. coli strains:
-P pili/fimbriae (specifically, **mannose-binding type I fimbria): cystitis and pyelonephritis (UTIs) -K capsule (composed of sialic acid): pneumonia, neonatal meingitis -LPS endotoxin (O157:H7 strain): septic shock (EHEC specifically) -Heat labile toxin, heat stable toxin: increases cAMP & cGMP, respectively (watery diarrhea; ETEC specifically)
I don't think E. coli has a pyrogenic superantigen toxin; this might just be S. aureus thrown in here.
