Abstract
A total of 419 isolates Escherichia Coli, isolated from 173 cases of diarrhoea, 39 cases of dysentery and 21 control cases of different age groups were subcultured in Trypticase Soy Broth containing 1 percent D-mannose. Adherence cell assay was done by using Lab Tek chamber slides seeded with Hep-2 cells. A totall of 46 cases (21.7 percent) showed adhesion and noted that 17.5 percent of EPEC, 16.7 percent of ETEC and 8.3 percent of untypable E. Coli showed adherence. 28 isolates of them showed diffused adherence pattern and 14 isolates showed localized adherence pattern; 4 isolates also showed aggregative type of adherence.
