Indirect haemagglutination test for the detection of thermolabile (LT) enterotoxin fromEscherichia coli

Abstract
An indirect haemagglutination test (IH) for the detection of enterotoxigenicE. coli (LT) was developed. Twenty-five enterotoxigenicE. coli (ETEC) from human and porcine diarrhoca and from river water were examined. The described IH test was more specific and sensitive than the passive immune haemolysis test (PIH).
