Abstract
Provided herein are polypeptides comprising up to 9 antigenic elements of ETEC virulence determinants: 7 CFA adhesins [CFA/I, CFA/II (CS1, CS2, CS3), CFA/IV (CS4, CS5, CS6)] expressed by the most prevalent and virulent ETEC strains, and 2 toxins expressed by all ETEC strains, were genetically fused together for CFA-toxoid fusion with proteins (CFA/I/II/IV-STa--LT). Methods for making these polypeptides and their use in the treatment of ETEC related disease are also provided.
