Abstract
In this study 197 strains of Escherichia coli isolated from cowpats and the faeces of healthy humans were examined for the presence of enterotoxins. Six strains representing five different serotypes were found to be enterotoxigenic. Four of these strains produced the heat labile enterotoxin and two, the Vero cell cytotoxin.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
