ABSTRACT
Monoclonal antibodies to K88ac and K88ab were used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays on Escherichia coli cultures known to produce K88 pili. A total of 415 K88-positive E. coli isolates from nine states were all found to be the K88ac variant. The cultures tested were isolated during the years 1976 to 1985.
