摘要: In this study, we investigated the prevalence and numbers of Escherichia coli O157 on bovine hides. Samples (n = 1,500) were collected over a 17-month period (30 samples per week) by sponge swabbing approximately 122-cm2 areas rump slaughtered cattle at an early stage carcass processing (first legging). Sponge stomached in buffered peptone water supplemented with novobiocin, directly plated sorbitol MacConkey Cefixime tellurite (SMAC-CT), enriched for 24 h, extracted immunomagnetic separation, onto SMAC-CT agar. Presumptive E. colonies from plates confirmed PCR presence eaeA, hlyA, fliCh7, vt1, vt2, portions rfb (O-antigen encoding) region O157. Overall, was recovered 109 (7.3%) concentrations ranging less than 0.13 to 4.24 log CFU/100 cm2. analysis revealed wide diversity genetic profiles among isolates verocytotoxigenic c...
