Enteropathogens were investigated as possible agents in pediatric diarrhea occurring in Mexico City during the summer of 1975. Pathogens were identified in 47 (76%) of 62 cases. Rotavirus particles were detected in 16 cases. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli was detected in 29 cases; 11 were positive for heat-labile enterotoxin and 18 were positive for only the heat-stable form of enterotoxin. Multiple pathogens were found simultaneously in 15 (24%) of the study population. This study indicates that the etiology of pediatric summertime diarrhea in Mexico City is diverse. ETEC and RV were the most frequently encountered pathogens, yet they frequently occurred together and with other pathogens. ST-only strains of toxigenic E. coli were as frequently recovered as LT-E. coli suggesting that both forms of ETEC must be sought in future field studies.

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.
