Abstract excerpt
Cytolethal distending toxin (CDT)-producing Escherichia coli strains are considered to be a heterogeneous group of E. coli. In the present investigation, 20 CDT-producing E. coli strains, which had already been shown to be cytotoxic necrotizing factor (cnf) gene positive, were selected by PCR. Since these strains proved to be CDT producers on CHO cells but were partially characterized by PCR, they were subjected...
