Designation of O174 and O175 to temporary O groups OX3 and OX7, and six new E. coli O groups that include Verocytotoxin-producing E. coli (VTEC): O176, O177, O178, O179, O180 and O181

Abstract excerpt

Two temporary Escherichia coli O group strains OX3 and OX7 are given permanent status as O174 and O175, respectively. Both these test strains were originally isolated from cases of human diarrhoea. Whereas the O174 strain is negative for known virulence genes, the O175 strain is positive with the probe derived from the CVD432 plasmid associated with the aggregative adherence phenotype, the Enteroaggregative...
