A method for detecting large numbers of isolates of enterotoxigenicEscherichia coliis described in which the genes encoding the enterotoxins are detected, rather than the toxins themselves. Radiolabeled fragments of DNA encoding the heat-labile (LT) or heatstable (ST) toxins were used as hybridization probes for homologous DNA sequences inE. colicolonies grown and lysed in situ on nitrocellulose filters. The LT probe detected all of 31E. colistrains producing ST and LT or only LT, while the ST probe detected 12 of 17 strains producing only ST and three of 26 strains producing ST and LT. These results suggest that the LTs produced by different isolates ofE. coliare homologous and that human isolates ofE. coliproduce at least two heterologous STs detectable in the infant mouse assay. The hybridization method also detected the presence of enterotoxigenicE. coliin bacterial growth in directly spotted stools from patients with acute diarrhea.
