Abstract
PCR tests designed in these studies identified three rabbit adhesive factor genes among 43 enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) strains: afr1 (2 strains), the F4(K88)/CS31A-related afr2 (10 strains), and ral (15 strains). Several EPEC strains (i.e., O153:H7 and O157:H2) lacked these genes but did adhere to HeLa cells and produced attaching and effacing lesions in rabbits.Entities:
