Abstract excerpt
A set of 6 DNA probes was tested to evaluate the incidence of various Escherichia coli pathotypes among 540 strains isolated in France from diarrhoeal stools of infants, children and adults. Enterotoxigenic E. coli were detected using 3 gene probes for enterotoxins LT, STaH and STaP. Enteroinvasive E. coli were detected using one DNA probe which specifically hybridizes with bacteria expressing the cell invasion...
