“…neapolitanum; it is now known to belong to serogroup O111. After these results were published, investigators in other countries pursued studies by using the same general approach [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. As a consequence, by the mid-1950s, a series of E. coli strains had been epidemiologically incriminated throughout the world as important causes of infant diarrhea [21][22][23]; the term enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) was proposed by Neter [24] to refer to these serotypes.…”

There are four major categories of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli: enterotoxigenic (a major cause of travelers' diarrhea and infant diarrhea in less-developed countries), enteroinvasive (a cause of dysentery), enteropathogenic (an important cause of infant diarrhea), and enterohemorrhagic (a cause of hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome). Besides manifesting distinct clinical patterns, these categories of E. coli differ in their epidemiology and pathogenesis and in their O:H serotypes. Common features (albeit distinct for each category) include plasmid-encoded virulence properties, characteristic interactions with intestinal mucosa, and elaboration of various types of enterotoxins or cytotoxins. A less-well-defined fifth category of diarrheagenic E. coli is that of enteroadherent E. coli, so far identifiable only by their pattern of adherence to Hep-2 cells in tissue culture.

“…Since these early studies groups 026 and 065 have been found to be associated with infantile diarrhoea in all countries in which this problem has been studied : Taylor & Charter (1952) and Smith (1955) (Braun & Resemann, 1952), 0128 Charter, 1955, andRogers, Kracknell, Buchanan &Halley, 1955), 0119 (Smith, 1953) and 0127 (Ewing, Tanner & Tatum, 1955). Additional types have been isolated from patients with infantile diarrhoea but their aetiological role is doubtful (see Table 1).…”

SUMMARYLysogeny was detected in 98 8 % of the 343 Escherichia coli 0119: B14 strains.A suitable indicator strain E. coli KS was selected to demonstrate the presence of temperate phages in this serotype. A great diversity in the temperate population was observed based on their lytic patterns and neutralization studies. No definite relationship could be established between the biochemical reactions and the flagellar antigens of the lysogenic strain and its temperate phage though some temperate phages released by E. coli 0119: B 14 strains with certain flagellar antigens did give specific lytic patterns and were serologically identical. Lysogenic strains, which did not release temperate phages spontaneously, were u.v. inductible. Cross-reactions with lysogenized colonies which were immune to corresponding phages also confirmed diversity of temperate phages in E. coli 0119: B 14.
