Heat-labile enterotoxin (LT)-producing Escherichia coli strains, as identified by the Y1 adrenal cell assay, were examined with a DNA probe coding for type I and type II LTs. Of 236 LT-producing E. coli isolates, 60% hybridized with LT-I, 17% hybridized with LT-II, and 23% did not hybridize with eit...
