The newly described stable enterotoxin producing, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, serotype O153:H45, capable of expressing colonizing factor antigen I, is frequently isolated as a cause of diarrhea among Chilean children. Hybridization studies of five new strains confirmed previous results which indicated that the stable enterotoxin genes are contained in nonconjugative plasmids ranging in size from 81 to 87 kilobases. The strains expressed similar antibiotic resistance and metabolic properties but differed in their plasmid content.
