Resumo
1. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia call (ETEC) strains belonging to serotype O29:H21 were analyzed for the presence of colonization factor antigens (CFA). 2. CFA/IV was detected in all twelve strains studied, and immunological analysis demonstrated that it was composed of coli surface antigens 5(085) and 6(086) presenting molecular weights of similar to 21 kDa and similar to 16 kDa, respectively. 3. CS6 antigenic homology was observed between O29:H21 and reference strains E11881C and E17018A. 4. 086 of the O29:H21 strains was composed of two peptide bands, similar to the reference strain E17018A.
