Table 1 Serotype and virulence factor profiling results of representative E. coli isolates from marmosets. Assays were conducted by E. coli Reference Center at The Pennsylvania State University. S8 had conflicting results on cnf1 between our primers and Penn State’s primers. elt, heat-labile enterotoxin; estA, heat-stable enterotoxin A; estB, heat-stable enterotoxin B; stx1, Shiga-type toxin 1; stx2, Shiga-type toxin 2; cnf1, cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1; cnf2, cytotoxic necrotizing factor 2; eae, intimin gamma.
