Abstract
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains expressing only coli s urface antigen 6 (CS6) have previously been isolated from patients wit h diarrhea, but the immunogenicity of CS6 has not been established in humans. We have detected CS6-specific immunoglobulin A responses in th e feces and blood of patients convalescing from natural ETEC disease a nd of volunteers given an oral ETEC vaccine.
