Using plasma glycoprotein glycans, a correlation was established between their inhibitory capacity of sheep mannose‐resistant haemagglutination (MRHA) properties of bovine enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and their monosaccharide content. Sialic acid seems to be the major component of the inhibitors of adherence of calf ETEC.
