Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) was isolated from the feces of 10 of 40 Thoroughbred foals with naturally acquired diarrhea. Of the 10 foals positive for ETBF, 6 were less than or equal to 7 days old. Fecal specimens from 4 of the 10 foals also were positive for rotavirus, and one fecal specimen was positive for Salmonella enteritidis. Clinical or hematologic differences were not evident between foals infected with ETBF only and those infected with ETBF and another recognized enteric pathogen. Only 1 of 10 foals infected with ETBF died. Of 25 adult rabbits with ligated ceca, 23 developed mucoid, often hemorrhagic, diarrhea after inoculation of 5 X 10(9) viable ETBF cells into the ileum. Nine of 13 (69%) rabbits inoculated with 1 of 3 isolates of ETBF died, but none of 12 inoculated with 1 of 6 other isolates of ETBF died. Enteric disease did not develop in 15 rabbits inoculated with nonenterotoxigenic B fragilis.
