Among 557 strains of Esch. coli isolated from patients with acute diarrhoea, 392 (70.4%) isolates demonstrated ST production by ELISA. Predominant ST producing serogroups were 020 (45), 078 (40), 0128 (21), 061 (19), 0149 (9), 04, 055, 0106 and 0114 (8 each). The inhibition ELISA range was between 10.5 and 40.5 per cent. Visual difference between a negative and a positive ELISA test was distinct. A comparison of ELISA with classical suckling mouse assay for 100 strains showed 88 and 80 positive strains respectively for ST. ELISA proved a more specific, rapid and sensitive assay which may be useful for screening large number of isolates in epidemiological studies.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D002675 Child, Preschool A child between the ages of 2 and 5. Children, Preschool,Preschool Child,Preschool Children
D003967 Diarrhea An increased liquidity or decreased consistency of FECES, such as running stool. Fecal consistency is related to the ratio of water-holding capacity of insoluble solids to total water, rather than the amount of water present. Diarrhea is not hyperdefecation or increased fecal weight. Diarrheas
D003968 Diarrhea, Infantile DIARRHEA occurring in infants from newborn to 24-months old. Infantile Diarrhea,Diarrheas, Infantile,Infantile Diarrheas
D004768 Enterotoxins Substances that are toxic to the intestinal tract causing vomiting, diarrhea, etc.; most common enterotoxins are produced by bacteria. Staphylococcal Enterotoxin,Enterotoxin,Staphylococcal Enterotoxins,Enterotoxin, Staphylococcal,Enterotoxins, Staphylococcal
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
