چکیده
Two hundred and ten cases of diarrhoea were investigated for enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli. Sixty eight (32.4%) yielded ETEC strains, out of which fifty seven (27.0%) were LT producers and six (2.9%) were ST producers. Drug sensitivity pattern indicate the effectiveness of gentamicine, streptomycin and chloramphenicol at a higher rate. (JPMA 36: 82, 1986).
