Diarrheal disease is one of the leading causes of death in children under five years of age. One of the pathogens involved in this disease especially in middle and low income countries is Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli. In studies involving the use of fecal samples for diagnosis, there are difficulties in colección, transport and storage; an alternative proposed to overcome these problems is the use of filter paper, which allows the storage of samples at room temperature and takes up less space. Likewise, there are a large number of DNA extraction methods, many of which are based on kits that are not economically adjusted to the needs of places where diarrheal disease is prevalent. Thus, this study seeks to jointly evaluate the use of stool samples on filter paper and their DNA extraction using Chelex - 100 to detect Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) by conventional multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The detection limit of the proposed method was 5.8x104 CFU/g. The interference assay to determine analytical specificity to detect ETEC and the analysis of the primers used showed that the method is specific. In the precision test, 100% was obtained for 3 of the 4 points of the chosen dilutions and 80% was obtained for one of the points showing a good precision of the method. The proposed method obtained 100% accuracy when compared to the extraction with Qiagen kit from fresh samples. Detection of ETEC using Chelex-100 and stool samples on filter paper showed moderate to strong agreement (k=0.794) with detection of ETEC using a commercial kit and fresh stool samples. (AU)
