Abstract:
A 151 E. coli strains isolated from diarrhea-affected pigs were studied for the presence of the antigen K88. The established strains positive for this antigen, belong to the serogroups: O149, O141, O139, O138, O18 and one strain of nondemonstrated O-serogroup. All positive strains produce antigen K88 on cultivation at 37 degrees C utilizing raffinose and forming gas. The same strains do not produce antigen K88 when cultivated at 18 degrees C.
