[E. coli strains producing heat labile enterotoxin on Vero cells]
Abstract
In this study heat-labile toxin (LT) producing strains of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) have been investigated by using Vero cell-line, which were isolated predominantly from the cultures of stool samples of 100 infants, aged between 0-2, with diarrhea. Among these strains 3% were found as toxin producers. These 3 strains were also detected as toxin producers and serotyped as O?:H12,LT(+); O?:H53,LT(-); (0126):H27,(LT)(-) at Statens Serum Institute (Denmark) International Escherichia and Klebsiella Centre.
