Prevalence of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Strains Harboring the Longus Pilus Gene in Brazil

The longus type IV pilus gene (lngA) was highly prevalent (32.8%) among Brazilian enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strains producing both heat-labile and heat-stable enterotoxins and bearing the CFA/I, CS1CS3, or CS6 antigen.
