pubmed:abstractText |
A number of different assay methods has been developed for the detection of the heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) of ETEC strains isolated from humans and animals. In the present study 40 Escherichia coli strains were subject of a comparative study of the staphylococcal coagglutination (Coa-LT) test, the GM1-ELISA and the Y-1 adrenal cell test. All but two of 20 "LT-ST" or "LT-only" producing ETEC strains gave identical results in both the Coa-LT test and the bioassay. None of the 14 "ST only" producing ETEC strains gave false positive results. It is concluded that the Coa-LT test is a simple and rapid assay method for the routine diagnosis of LT producing ETEC strains.
