Abstract
Two cases of gastro-enteritis in South African adults are reported. Stool cultures performed on both patients yielded pure growths Escherichia coli. One isolate was shown to have invasive ability, and the other to produce heatstable enterotoxin. Neither strain belonged to a 'classic' enteropathogenic serotype associated with infantile gastro-enteritis.
