DNA probes to identify Shiga-like toxin I- and II-producing enteric bacterial pathogens isolated from patients with diarrhea in Thailand.
When Shigella species, Escherichia coli, and five other bacterial enteric pathogens isolated from children with diarrhea in Thailand were tested for hybridization under stringent conditions with probes for Shiga-like toxins I and II, only 30 Shigella dysenteriae 1 hybridized with the Shiga-like toxin I probe.
