Faeces (n = 1319) were examined over three months for the presence of non-sorbitol fermenting, verotoxin producing Escherichia coli (serotype O157). Seven isolates were found, four from patients with bloodstained diarrhoea and three from patients with no evidence of blood in the faeces. Screening of all faecal samples with specific O157 antiserum for non-sorbitol fermenting organisms and agglutination was an important adjunct to clinical and microscopic findings and helped detect cases of verotoxin producing E coli which might otherwise have been missed.
在三个月的时间里，对1319份粪便样本进行了检测，以查找非山梨醇发酵、产志贺毒素大肠杆菌（血清型O157）。发现了7株分离菌，其中4株来自有便血腹泻的患者，3株来自粪便中无血液迹象的患者。用O157特异性抗血清对所有粪便样本进行非山梨醇发酵菌的筛查和凝集试验，是对临床和显微镜检查结果的重要辅助手段，有助于检测出可能漏诊的产志贺毒素大肠杆菌病例。
