TLDR
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.Abstract:
Escherichia coli strains isolated from outbreaks of diarrheal disease were tested for the presence of adhesive factors. Fifty-one of these strains belonged to traditional infantile entero-pathogenic serotypes (EPEC) and 17 belonged to other serotypes. None of these strains were enterotoxigenic and none possessed colonization factors CFA/I or CFA/II, which have been described among strains of enterotoxigenicE. coli (ETEC). EnterotoxigenicE. coli strains from patients with diarrhea and strains which were neither EPEC nor ETEC from subjects without diarrhea were also examined. By means of a tissue culture technique using HEp-2 cells, a new adhesive factor was found to occur with greater frequency in EPEC strains. The adhesive factor was found less frequently in the other groups ofE. coli studied. It was distinct from type 1 pili and was not inhibited by the presence ofD-mannose.read more

Isolation and characterization of escherichia coli from raw vegetables
TL;DR: The present study focuses on the characterization of E. coli from raw vegetables in Bangladesh, which has shown high levels of virulence factors and the need for further investigation into these factors and their role in the design of vaccines.

The human intestinal organoid as a model system for enteropathogenic Escherichia coli pathogenesis
TL;DR: The observations that EPEC was intimately associated with the intestinal epithelium, supports the use of HIOs as an in vitro model to study E. coli colonization investigations.

TL;DR: Susceptibility to antibiotics was studied in 38 strains of enteiopathogenic E. coli obtained from children under 2 years of age, 29 of these were obtained from patients with acute diarrhoea and the remainder fromasymptomatic children.

Test for Escherichia coli Enterotoxin Using Infant Mice: Application in a Study of Diarrhea in Children in Honolulu
TL;DR: Use of the infant-mouse test in a study of 37 children with diarrhea in Honolulu revealed no enterotoxin-producing coliform bacteria in the stools, in contrast to studies reported from India, where such strains were found in a large proportion of undifferentiated cases of acute diarrhea in adults.

Plasmid-controlled colonization factor associated with virulence in Esherichia coli enterotoxigenic for humans.
TL;DR: It was demonstrated that E. coli H-10407, but not H10407-, possessed pilus-like surface structures which agglutinated with the specific adsorbed (anti-colonization factor) antiserum, which may play an important and possibly essential role in naturally occurring E coli enterotoxic diarrhea in man.
