We examined the possibility of pilus colonization factor (or adhesin) production by 9 enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli isolated from infantile diarrheal patients in Papua New Guinea. By hydrophobicity, hemagglutination and bacterial agglutination with antisera against various known adhesins, none of the 9 strains produced known pilus adhesins. Three strains which produce heat-labile and heat-stable enterotoxins may produce a new type of pili which is not hydrophobic and differs from common (type 1) pili.
我们检测了从巴布亚新几内亚婴儿腹泻患者中分离出的9株产肠毒素大肠杆菌产生菌毛定居因子（或黏附素）的可能性。通过疏水性、血细胞凝集以及用针对各种已知黏附素的抗血清进行细菌凝集试验，这9株菌株均未产生已知的菌毛黏附素。三株产生不耐热和耐热肠毒素的菌株可能产生一种新型菌毛，这种菌毛不具有疏水性，且与普通（1型）菌毛不同。
