A killed E. coli 0111:K58 vaccine was administered by the oral route to 16 children ranging from 3 months to 7 years of age. The antibody response was measured at different times after the vaccination through the titration of agglutinating antibodies in serum and in fecal extracts, and the detection of specific IgA immunoglobulins in the intestinal content. All vaccines developed antibody response detectable both inserum and in fecal samples. Coproantibodies tended to appear earlier and to attain higher titers than circulating antibodies; they were all least in part IgA immunoglobulins, since the content of specific IgA in the fecal extracts was proportional to the agglutinating titer.

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
