Abstract

A total of 134 enterotoxigenicEscherichia coli (ETEC) of serogroups O25, O27, O148, and O159 were tested in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for the colonization factor antigens I (CFA/I), CFA/II (coli surface antigens CS1, 2 and 3) and putative colonization factor (PCF) 8775 (CS4, 5 and 6). CS6 was detected without CS4 or CS5 in 94% of the strains of serogroup O25, 86% of strains of serogroup O27, 87% of strains of serogroup O148, and 29% of strains of serogroup, O159. The frequency with which CS6 occurs in ETEC of common serotypes without the antigens CS4 or CS5 suggests that it might be a colonization factor.
