Of the pretrip samples from 92 healthy subjects, one was positive for EAEC, one was positive for STEC stx₂, and one was positive for an Aeromonas sp.

Fisher's exact test. NS, not significant.

Of the eight ETEC isolates found, two were from vaccinees and six were from controls (not significant).

S. enterica serotypes: Havana (one patient), Hadar (two patients), Javiana (two patients), Hadar and Javiana (one patient), Uganda (one patient), and 9,12:−:− (one patient).
