Abstract
Two Escherichia coli strains isolated in Vietnam from American soldiers with diarrhea and acute "colitis" were examined for virulence in both in vitro and in vivo experimental models. Their biologic properties were compared with those of an enterotoxin-producing Esch. coli strain implicated in disease of swine as well as with those of four other Esch. coli and a virulent shigella strain.
