Abstract excerpt
Stool specimens from 631 children with acute diarrhoea and from 277 healthy controls were tested for the presence of non-enteropathogenic, non-enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strains which mediated mannose-resistant haemagglutination of human erythrocytes (MRHA+). Fifty-nine (34.9%) of 169 isolated MRHA+ strains but none of 210 MRHA- strains exhibited diffuse adherence (DA+) to HEp-2 cells. DA+ strains were...
