Abstract
In this study sorbitol MacConkey agar was used to screen E. coli isolated from 894 children with diarrhoea. Thirty-four non-sorbitol fermenters were detected. On serotyping, three organisms belonged to the O157 serogroup. Only one of these possessed the H7 antigen. This organism was a verotoxin producer. These findings suggest that E. coli O157:H7 is an uncommon enteric pathogen in Irish children.Entities:
