Stool Culture

Has anybody ever heard of a stool culture for E coli being divided into:

-Adherence
-Enteroinvasive
-Labile Toxin
-Verotoxin

I had a 10 month old who's diarrhea finally resolved after about 10 days,
but a few days later the culture I'd sent off the previous week came back
positive for
E coli - Adherence, negative for the other three categories.  The local GI
consultant had never heard of a culture being reported this way.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
