Unusual serotypes of Escherichia coli from piglet diarrhea in north Spain.
Eighteen strains of Escherichia coli isolated from piglet diarrhea were examined with a wide range of antisera and were found not to belong to the common serotypes found in this disease. Several different serotypes were found; nine strains belonged to O153, and an O group (not commonly associated with piglet diarrhea) belonged to four different serobiotypes.
