TI  - Colonisation factors amongst clinical isolates of enterotoxigenic Escherichia 
      coli.
PG  - 495-7
AB  - The production of heat-labile (LT) and heat-stable (ST) enterotoxins, 
      colonisation factor antigens (CFAs) and haemagglutinins was investigated amongst 
      310 Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolates obtained from 62 children under the age 
      of five, with diarrhoea. Twenty-one isolates were found to produce enterotoxins, 
      of which fifteen (71%) isolates produced ST only, 2 (10%) produced LT only and 4 
      (19%) produced both LT and ST. However, none of the isolates demonstrated any of 
      the common CFAs identified to date, but 8 out of the 21 isolates demonstrated 
      haemagglutination with rabbit, sheep or human group A erythrocytes, suggesting 
      the presence of putative CFAs, yet unidentified.
