Virulence properties of Escherichia coli faecal strains isolated in Poland from healthy children and strains belonging to serogroups O18, O26, O44, O86, O126 and O127 isolated from children with diarrhoea.

Abstract excerpt

Four hundred and twenty-seven Escherichia coli isolates from 427 cases of infantile diarrhoea in Poland, belonging to serogroups O18, O26, O44, O86, O126 and O127 and 150 E. coli isolates from 52 healthy children were examined for selected virulence properties. The presence of the plasmid pAA, a plasmid encoding enterohaemolysin, the genes encoding intimin (eae), bundle-forming pili (bfp), Shiga toxins I and II...
