Abstract

Ammonium sulfate-precipitated supernatants of classical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strains were negative when investigated for enterotoxin production in rabbit ligated ileal loops, rabbit skin vascular permeability factor tests, suckling mice, and Y-1 adrenal cells. They also failed to stimulate guanylate cyclase activity in homogenates of rabbit, rat, and infant mouse intestines. Furthermore, DNA from enteropathogenic E. coli lacked sequences that encode heat-labile and heat-stable enterotoxins. These studies fail to show conventional enterotoxin synthesis by classical enteropathogenic E. coli.
