Abstract
- Pathogenic genes such as stx1, stx2, STh gene, STp gene, LT gene, invE, eae, aggR, afaD, astA, cdt and cnf were investigated in Escherichia coli isolated from cattle during Nov. 2012 and Aug. 2013. Plural pathogenic genes were concurrently detected by multiplex PCR, and screen-positive genes were confirmed and sub-classified by PCR. Among 100 cattle investigated, 180 E. coli strains with diarrheic genes (DEC) were detected in 79 cattle, and 45 of them, isolated from 32 cattle, were Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). More than 30% of cattle carried astA, cdt, cnf and stx2 in descending order. STh gene, LT gene, invE, aggR and afaD were not detected in this study. Both stx1 and stx2 were concurrently detected from 6 of 45 STEC strains and stx2 alone was detected from 19. Seventeen STEC strains carried STp gene, astA, or cdt along with stx1 or stx2. Additionally, 135 remaining DEC were classified into 18 enterotoxigenic E. coli with STp gene, 25 enteropathogenic E. coli with eae, and 92 other DEC with astA, cdt and cnf. Both O and H serotypes were identified in 48 strains, including O157 : H7, O1H7 and so on. O157 : H7 were identified in 3 strains that carried stx2 and eae together, as found in human pathogenic strains isolated from patients with gastroenteritis and hemolytic-uremic syndrome.
