  • Title: Infrequent finding of verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli in diarrheal stools in Belgrade, Serbia.
    Author: Cobeljić M, Lepsanović Z, Velimirović S.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 1995; 27(4):427-8. PubMed ID: 8658087.
    Abstract:
    Out of 2,638 patients, with acute diarrhea, verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) was isolated from the stools of 8 (0.3%). There was no visible blood in their stools and none of them developed other syndromes associated with VTEC infection. None of the isolated VTEC agglutinated with O157 E. coli antiserum, while only 3 strains hybridized with the DNA probe CVD 419, designed to detect VTEC. The data obtained suggest that VTEC is not an important causative agent of acute diarrhea in Belgrade.
