During studies of diarrhoea due to Escherichia coli in 316 adult volunteers, ABO and Rh
blood group determinations were done to look for differences in the occurrence or severity of
illness in association with certain blood groups. In studies using heat-labile enterotoxin-
producing E. coli, volunteers with O blood group had a significantly higher attack rate for
diarrhoea than persons with other blood groups. In contrast, in studies with
enteropathogenic or heat-stable enterotoxin-producing E. coli, no association was found …
