Journal ArticleDOI
An adhesive factor found in strains of Escherichia coli belonging to the traditional infantile enteropathogenic serotypes
TL;DR: A new adhesive factor was found to occur with greater frequency in EPEC strains and was distinct from type 1 pili and was not inhibited by the presence ofD-mannose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of bacteriophages specific for the K1 polysaccharide antigen of Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: The use of K1-specific bacteriophages offers an inexpensive and easy method for the identification of the K1 antigen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Haemorrhagic colitis and Vero-cytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli in England and Wales.
TL;DR: Plating on sorbitol agar for non-fermenters followed by agglutination with a specific O157 antiserum was a useful screening method for O157 VT+ strains, however, it was not as sensitive as the DNA probe technique and did not detect VTEC of other serogroups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal Article
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli diarrhoea: acquired immunity and transmission in an endemic area.
Robert E. Black,Michael H. Merson,Bernard Rowe,Philip R. Taylor,Abdul Alim,R. J. Gross,David A. Sack +6 more
TL;DR: It was found that 11% of contacts were infected in the 10-day study period, and that both the rate of infection and the proportion of infected persons with diarrhoea decreased with increasing age, suggesting the development of immunity.
