Abstract
⺠We examine beach sand for the presence of E. coli attachment and toxin genes. ⺠Attachment genes eae and bfp are at high frequency. ⺠Toxin genes stx1 and stx2 are at low frequency. ⺠Beach sand may be a reservoir of these genes. ⺠Attachment genes may be common components of sand E. coli strains.
