“…The presence of a B antigen seems apparently to be a distinguishing feature of Escherichia serotypes recovered in association with gastroenteritis (Kauffmann, 1951). In this latter respect, E. coli 0 group 20 does not differ from the other enteritis-producing E. coli (Charter and Taylor, 1952;Kauffmann and Dupont, 1950;Qrskov, 1951;Ewing et al, 1955) identified so far as: 0 group 111: B4, 55: B5, 26:B6, 86:B7, and 127:B8 as well as 125:B15 and 126 :B16.…”

In an earlier communication (Aboul-Dahab et al. 1958) the authors reported on the variability of response to chloromycetin of infants admitted to hospital (August 1954-1955) during a major study on gastroenteritis (Tawil et al., 1959). A relevant feature was the high incidence of relapses among the inpatients of period 3 (May 28, 1955, to August 15, 1955) of that study, particularly the chloromycetin-treated group of cases. The relapses usually coincided with the recovery, from the stools, of strains of Escherichia coli that were resistant to chloromycetin. These strains possessed the same somatic 0 antigen and Dr. F. Qrskov, who kindly checked our findings,

“…The recognition of diarrheagenic categories of E. coli began in the 1950’s when a series of papers showed that antigenically related strains were associated with infantile diarrhea [6,7]. As a result, specific O serogroups of E. coli have been associated with virulent strains since that time.…”

Escherichia coli colonizes the human intestine shortly after birth, with most strains engaging in a commensal relationship. However, some E. coli strains have evolved toward acquiring genetic traits associated with virulence. Currently, five categories of enteroadherent E. coli strains are well-recognized, and are classified in regard to expressed adhesins and the strategy used during the colonization. The high morbidity associated with diarrhea has motivated investigations focusing on E. coli adhesins, as well on factors that inhibit bacterial adherence. Breastfeeding has proved to be the most effective strategy for preventing diarrhea in children. Aside from the immunoglobulin content, glycocompounds and oligosaccharides in breast milk play a critical role in the innate immunity against diarrheagenic E. coli strains. This review summarizes the colonization factors and virulence strategies exploited by diarrheagenic E. coli strains, addressing the inhibitory effects that oligosaccharides and glycocompounds, such as lactoferrin and free secretory components, exert on the adherence and virulence of these strains. This review thus provides an overview of experimental data indicating that human milk glycocompounds are responsible for the universal protective effect of breastfeeding against diarrheagenic E. coli pathotypes.

“…Since these early studies groups 026 and 065 have been found to be associated with infantile diarrhoea in all countries in which this problem has been studied : Taylor & Charter (1952) and Smith (1955) (Braun & Resemann, 1952), 0128 Charter, 1955, andRogers, Kracknell, Buchanan &Halley, 1955), 0119 (Smith, 1953) and 0127 (Ewing, Tanner & Tatum, 1955). Additional types have been isolated from patients with infantile diarrhoea but their aetiological role is doubtful (see Table 1).…”
