Abstract excerpt
Fifty-six heat-labile, enterotoxin-producing (LT+) Escherichia coli isolated from 33 children less than 5 years of age with diarrhoea were analysed for resistance to antibiotics, plasmid contents, and clonal relationships among isolates by ribosomal RNA (rRNA) fingerprinting (ribotyping). Fifty-f...
