Lack of Shiga-like cytotoxin production by enteroinvasive Escherichia coli.

T G Cleary 1, B E Murray 1
PMCID: PMC266840  PMID: 3053767

Abstract

Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli has not been extensively studied for cytotoxin production. We evaluated 30 well-characterized enteroinvasive E. coli strains of all the known invasive serogroups from several geographic regions for their ability to produce Shiga-like cytotoxic activity assayed in a HeLa cell system. None of these strains produced cytotoxic activity that was neutralizable with antibody to Shiga-like toxin I or II.
