Isolation of verotoxigenicEscherichia coli O157 from poultry

Results obtained by examination of cloacal swabs from poultry for the presence of verotoxigenic strains ofE. coli O157∶H7 are presented. Twenty samples (9.2%) of 216 samples examined were positive forE. coli O157. Out of 20E. coli O157, 19 strains were positive for the production of both verotoxins...

Zusammenfassung:Results obtained by examination of cloacal swabs from poultry for the presence of verotoxigenic strains ofE. coli O157∶H7 are presented. Twenty samples (9.2%) of 216 samples examined were positive forE. coli O157. Out of 20E. coli O157, 19 strains were positive for the production of both verotoxins (VT1 and VT2). However, none of them was positive for the presence of H7 antigen.
