Here, we focused on the differences of enteropathogens in acute diarrhea between urban and rural areas in southeast China. Laboratory- and sentinel-based surveillance of acute diarrhea (\u2265 3 loose or liquid stools\/24 hours) was conducted at 16 hospitals. Fecal specimens were tested for bacterial (<jats:italic>Aeromonas<\/jats:italic> sp., <jats:italic>Campylobacter<\/jats:italic> sp., diarrheagenic <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Plesiomonas shigelloides<\/jats:italic>, non-typhoidal <jats:italic>Salmonella<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Shigella<\/jats:italic> sp., <jats:italic>Vibrio<\/jats:italic> sp., and <jats:italic>Yersinia<\/jats:italic> sp.) and viral (adenovirus, astrovirus, <jats:italic>Norovirus<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Rotavirus<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Sapovirus<\/jats:italic>) pathogens. Descriptive statistics were used. Between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2014, 4,548 outpatients with acute diarrhea were enrolled (urban, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 3,220; rural, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 1,328). Pathogens were identified in 2,074 (45.6%) patients. Norovirus (25.7%), <jats:italic>Vibrio parahaemolyticus<\/jats:italic> (10.2%), enteroaggregative <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic> (EAEC) (8.8%), group A <jats:italic>Rotavirus<\/jats:italic> (7.0%), and enterotoxigenic <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic> (ETEC) (5.6%) were the most common pathogens. Enteropathogens were less common in urban than in rural areas (42.0% versus 54.4%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). In urban areas, EAEC and ETEC were more common in high-income than in middle-income regions. Interventions targeting the most common enteropathogens can substantially reduce the burden of acute diarrhea in southeast
