Tóm tắt

Atotal of 315 strains of Escherichia coli causing diarrhea in infants and children received at the National Salmonella and Escherichia Centre, Central Research Institute, Kasauli, during the year 1981 were studied for serotype and enterotoxigenicity. One hundred and eighty eight strains belonged to infantile diarrhea cases and the predominant serotype isolated was 05, followed by 017, 01, 025, 035 and so on. One hundred and twenty seven strains belonged to childhood diarrhea cases and here the most common serotype was 025, followed by 017, 02, 060, 057 and so on. Seventy strain (22.21%) were enterotoxigenic, of these 18 strains (5.71%) produced LT, 46 strains (14.60%) produced ST and only 6 strains (1.90%) produced both LT and ST.
