Abstract

A strain of Escherichia coli isolated from a child with diarrhea was biochemically similar and antigenically identical (O and K antigens) to the standard strain of E. coli O group 29 and was positive in the Serény test for invasiveness, which suggests that it can cause a Shigella-like illness.
