The frequency of molecular detection of virulence genes encoding cytolysin A, high-pathogenicity island and cytolethal distending toxin of Escherichia coli in cases of sudden infant death syndrome does not differ from that in other infant deaths and healthy infants, by A. R. Highet, A. M. Berry, K. A. Bettelheim and P. N. Goldwater
