We standardized an immunochromatographic test (IC) for heat-labile toxin I (LT-I) detection using LT-I antibodies and a specific platform containing the apparatus for application, assembly and cutting. IC detected as little as 62.5 ng/mL of purified LT-I toxin and presented 91% sensitivity, 99.5% specificity and 96.0% accuracy, thereby proving to be an excellent point-of-care test for the diagnosis of enterotoxigenic E. coliinfection in low-income countries.
