Abstract excerpt
Stability of the biotypic characters of 72 enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) and 21 faecal E. coli strains was evaluated after storage and after subculturing using a computerized biochemical fingerprinting method. Sixteen (22%) EPEC strains and nine (43%) faecal strains exhibited changes in their biochemical reactions after subculturing. In contrast, strains stored at -70 degrees C and 4 degrees C did not...
