Occurrence of non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in two commercial swine farms in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa

Highlights • Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli , commonly isolated in ruminants is being been reported for the first time in pigs and in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. • E. coli O26 and O145 belonging to non-O157, were found to harbour Shiga toxins. • Screening of E. coli isolates f...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli , commonly isolated in ruminants is being been reported for the first time in pigs and in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. • E. coli O26 and O145 belonging to non-O157, were found to harbour Shiga toxins. • Screening of E. coli isolates for Shiga toxins should not be restricted to the “top six” serogroups as many others could harbour Shiga toxins.
