Production of heat-labile or heat-stable enterotoxins by strains of Escherichia coli belonging to serogroups O44, O114, and O128. 1981

Strains of Escherichia coli which belong to enteropathogenic serogroups usually fail to produce heat-labile or heat-stable enterotoxins. However, 1 of 34 strains of E. coli O44, 9 of 45 strains of E. coli O114, and 18 of 82 strains of E. coli O128 produced heat-labile or heat-stable enterotoxins. Most enterotoxigenic isolates were from tropical or developing countries; all three enterotoxigenic strains isolated in Britain were from patients returned from abroad. Enterotoxigenic strains were of many different flagellar types. Certain enterotoxigenic strains of E. coli O114 and O128 possessed colonization factor antigen I.

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
