Rapid test for identification of heat-labile enterotoxin-producing Escherichia coli colonies.
A latex particle agglutination test is described which is suitable for the recognition of heat-labile enterotoxin-producing colonies of Escherichia coli immediately after primary culture on a variety of commonly used enteric diagnostic media. The test is simple and economical to perform, and the results are available in minutes.
متن کاملRapid latex particle agglutination test for Escherichia coli strains of porcine origin producing heat-labile enterotoxin.
A latex particle agglutination test previously shown to be suitable for the rapid identification of Escherichia coli strains of human origin producing heat-labile enterotoxin (R. A. Finkelstein and Z. Yang, J. Clin. Microbiol. 18:23-28) is equally applicable to strains of porcine origin.
متن کاملGanglioside GM1 enzyme-linked immunospot assay for simple identification of heat-labile enterotoxin-producing Escherichia coli.
A new method has been developed for demonstration of heat-labile (LT) enterotoxin produced by Escherichia coli. This method is based upon the release of LT from bacteria grown directly onto agar plates which have been coated with ganglioside GM1. Toxin bound to the GM1 solid state is subsequently demonstrated by means of a three-step immunoenzymatic procedure in which enzyme-substrate reactions...
متن کاملHeat - labile Enterotoxin of Escherichia coli
Heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) was obtained in large quantities (several-gram amounts) and great purity from Escherichia coli C600 carrying the LT-coding multicopy plasmid EWD299. By growing this strain on a medium that allows high cell densities in the early stationary phase, we increased the net LT production per milliliter by a factor of 200, compared to natural porcine enterotoxigenic E. coli...
متن کاملEscherichia coli Heat - labile Enterotoxin NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE
We report the complete DNA sequence of the Escherichia coli elt A gene, which codes for the A subunit of the heat-labile enterotoxin, LT. The amino acid sequence of the LT A subunit has been deduced from the DNA sequence of elt A. The LT A subunit starts with methionine, ends with leucine, and comprises 264 amino acids. The computed molecular weight of LT A is 29,673. The A subunit of cho...
