- Abstract
Human challenges with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) have broadened our understanding of this important enteropathogen. We report findings from the first challenge studies using ETEC-expressing colonization factor fimbria CS17 and CS19. LSN03-016011/A (LT, CS17) elicited a dose-dependent effect, with the upper dose (6 × 109 organisms) causing diarrhea in 88% of recipients. WS0115A (LTSTp, CS19) also showed a dose response, with a 44% diarrhea rate at 9 × 109 organisms. Both strains elicited homologous antifimbrial and anti-LT antibody seroconversion. These studies establish the relative pathogenicity of ETEC expressing newer class 5 fimbriae and suggest suitability of the LT|CS17-ETEC challenge model for interventional trials.
