Abstract excerpt
We have developed a nonradioactive colony hybridisation assay for the detection of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) that harbor the structural genes for CFA/I, CS1, CS2, CS4, CS17, or PCFO166. Thus, a polynucleotide probe derived from the colonisation factor antigen I (CFA/I) operon hybridised under very low stringency conditions to total DNA from CFA/I-producing (CFA/I), coli-surface antigen 1 and 3 (CS1...
