Abstract excerpt
A polynucleotide probe comprising the gene encoding a major structural subunit protein of coli surface antigen 6 (CS6) of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) was developed. Eighty-nine ETEC isolates were examined in parallel with the probe in a colony hybridization assay and in a recently developed polyclonal-antibody-based inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The two assays showed a high...
