1992년부터 1993년까지 약 2개년 동안 일본국 쿄토지역 병원에서 요로감염 소아의 오줌으로부터 분리한 병원대장균 총 14균주에 대하여 혈청학적 검사와 박테리오파지 검사를 실시한 결과, 혈청형은 주로 O1:H7, O2:H6, O2:H7, O16:H6, O18:H7, O18:H^-, O135:H44 등이었으며 K1 다당류항원의 양성반응은 14균주중 1균주(O18:H^-, 7.1%)이었다.
Identification of Escherchia coli K1 polysaccharide antigen isolated from urine specimens of urinary tract infections in children were performed from of 1992 to 1993 in Kyoto, Japan. The serotypes of E. coli were categorized that O1:H7, O2:H6, O2:H7, O16:H6, O18:H7, O18:H^-, and O135:H44 among 14 strains isolated from urine specimens of urinary tract infections in children by the serological test. And, one strain (O18:H^-, isolation rate : 7.1%) of E. coli K1 polysaccharide antigen among 14 strains were isolated from urine specimens of urinary tract infections in children by the bacteriophage test.
