The detection of heat-labile enterotoxin LT-A and heat-stable enterotoxin ST Ia and ST Ib genes from enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) by using oligonucleotide DNA probes and the PCR was evaluated in reconstruction experiments and by testing stool specimens from 29 healthy subjects and from 50 patients with diarrhea who had returned from the (sub)tropics.
