Two strains of Escherichia coli of serotype O111:H12 produced a mannose‐resistant haemagglutinin (MREHA) of Duguid's pattern 7 that reacted strongly with the red cells of ox and sheep. These strains also adhered to HEp2‐epithelial cells and formed fibrillae demonstrable by negative staining and immunogold labelling.
