摘要: Abstract Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157 is an important foodborne pathogen. The aims of this study were to determine genetic relatedness STEC isolated from foods in China. isolates food characterized by virulence gene typing, antibiotyping, Multi-locus sequence typing (MLST), pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis (PFGE), variable number tandem repeat (MLVA), and the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) clade typing. Of 30 analyzed, all harbored eae, exhA, stx1 and/or stx2 genes with stx2c subtype predominating. By MLST, they relatively homogenous only 4 STs. PFGE MLVA generated 22 pulsotyples 23 patterns, respectively, which showed considerable diversity. Only one 8 isolate was detected. These results indicate that China heterogeneous. There no correlation between genotypic characteristics sources isolates. Since different subtyping methods often give discriminatory powers, use more than approach necessary providing a accurate picture diversity O157.
