As a human gastrointestinal pathogen, E. albertii is often linked to food- or water-borne outbreaks of disease, and can cause sporadic cases of bacteraemia. The species may be misidentified as Enteropathogenic E. coli due to its production of intimin. It is also responsible for disease or subclinical infection in domestic and wild birds, where it may be a reservoir for human disease.
