Abstract

Approximately 8% of 240 isolates of Escherichia coli obtained from food of animal origin in the United States were found to be enterotoxigenic, as determined in adrenal cells, rabbit ileal loops, and assays in infant mice. These organisms were of diverse serotypes that are not included among the so called enteropathogenic serotypes and would not have been identified by usual laboratory methods. These enterotoxigenic E. coli are of potential importance to public health.
