[Detection of enterotoxic strains of Escherichia coli in children with diarrhea treated at the Child Health Center 1986-1988].
Studies on detection of enterotoxigenic strains of E. coli were carried in 1986-1988. During this time 2324 rectal swabs from children with diarrhoea symptoms were tested. On the whole 701 E. coli were selected. The ability to produce thermolabile enterotoxin by E. coli strains was evaluated by three methods: Elek test, passive immunohemolysis and ELISA. Among selected E. coli strains enterotoxigenic strains accounted for 21.8% in 1986, 16.3% in 1987 and 28.2% in 1988.
