AB  - Faecal samples from 148 dogs with diarrhoea and from 15 healthy dogs were 
      cultured for bacterial pathogens with enterotoxigenic properties. The aim of the 
      study was to define the toxin profile (production of heat-labile [LT] and 
      heat-stable [ST] toxins) and possible surface fimbrial antigens. Enterotoxigenic 
      bacteria were isolated from 6 (4.1%) dogs with diarrhoea, four of these were 
      Escherichia coli and two were Klebsiella pneumoniae. The E. coli strains and K. 
      pneumoniae strains were producing both LT and ST toxins. The LT toxin from these 
      strains was not neutralized by human anti-LT serum or anti-choleragen and did not 
      cause coagglutination with Staphylococcus aureus coated with anti-human-LT. This 
      suggests that the LT toxin produced by these canine isolates is non-identical to 
      LT toxin from human strains. Three of the ETEC strains were haemagglutinating and 
      showed surface hydrophobic properties. Electron microscopy showed that canine 
      ETEC isolates possessed fimbriae of two different types: thick (5-5.5 nm) and 
      thin (2-3 nm).
