Department of Paediatrics, Chinese University of Hong Kong,.

This pediatric hospital-based study of 388 diarrhea cases and 306 controls analyzed predominant E. coli colonies from primary culture (253 cases and 177 controls) with eight DNA probes for enteropathogenic, enterotoxigenic, enteroaggregative, and diffusely adherent E. coli. Only enteropathogenic E. coli adherence factor was identified significantly more frequently in cases (10) than in controls (0).
