The enteropathogenic role of cytolethal distending toxin-producing Escherichia coli was investigated by searching sequences homologous to the cdt genes of an O86 strain among 2,074 isolates from 200 children with acute diarrhea and 200 controls in Brazil. Only one (0.5%) diarrheic child and two (1.0%) non-diarrheic controls harbored cdt-positive isolates.
通过在巴西200名急性腹泻儿童和200名对照的2074株分离菌株中搜索与O86菌株cdt基因同源的序列,研究了产细胞致死膨胀毒素大肠杆菌的肠道致病作用。仅有一名(0.5%)腹泻儿童和两名(1.0%)非腹泻对照携带cdt阳性分离菌株。
