Virulence factors of Escherichia coli isolated from calves with diarrhea in Brazil Fatores de virulência das amostras de Escherichia coli isoladas de bezerros com diarréia no Brasil
Two hundred and five Escherichia coli strains isolated from calves with diarrhea from mid-western Brazil were screened for the presence of virulence factors associated with bovine colibacillosis. One hundred and two (49.8%) of the E. coli strains produced toxins: Shiga toxins 1 (9.7%) and 2 (6.3%),...

Two hundred and five Escherichia coli strains isolated from calves with diarrhea from mid-western Brazil were screened for the presence of virulence factors associated with bovine colibacillosis. One hundred and two (49.8%) of the E. coli strains produced toxins: Shiga toxins 1 (9.7%) and 2 (6.3%), a-hemolysin (9.7%), enterohemolysin(6.8%), Cytotoxic Necrotizing Factors type 1 (0.5%), and type 2 (4.4%), enterotoxins LT-II (8.3%) and STa (3.9%). No strain produced enterotoxin LT-I. Fimbrial adhesins F5 and F17 were produced by 7.3% and 4.8% of the strains, respectivly, and none expressed F41.
