ABSTRACT
Fourty nine Escherichia coli strains, isolated from diarrhoeal and urinary tract infection (UTI) patients, attending Bareilly district hospital, Uttar Pradesh during October to December, 1998 were screened for verotoxin (VT) production by Vero cell assay. Five strains produced characteristic cytopathic effect on Vero cell line, of which 4 were from diarrhoeal and one was from UTI-patient. The level of VT-production varied widely. Antibiotic sensitivity tests revealed that the VT-producing E. coli (VTEC) were mostly sensitive to kanamycin, norfloxacin and nalidixic acid but resistant to ampicillin and tetracycline.
