Evaluation of experimental conditions for quantification of LT produced by human derived enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strains Avaliação das condições experimentais para quantificação de LT produzida por linhagens de Escherichia coli enterotoxigênica isolada de humanos

The heat-labile toxin (LT) is a key virulence-associated factor associated with the non-invasive secretory diarrhea caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains either in humans or domestic animals. Several LT detection methods have been reported but quantification of the toxin produced...
