Abstract excerpt
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strain 260-1 produces colonization factor antigen III and heat-labile enterotoxin. A 55-kb plasmid controlling the expression of the colonization factor antigen was isolated from this strain after it was labeled with ampicillin resistance transposon, Tn3. When thi...
