摘要: Aims: To perform a longitudinal study of the diversity Escherichia coli O157 from ruminant pasture/stream environment using multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA). Methods and Results: Samples faecal droppings grazing ruminants an adjacent stream were tested longitudinally for E. by enrichment immunomagnetic separation (IMS). Using MLVA, 24 different profiles identified total 231 isolates, which 80 included in similarity analysis. Four main clusters with several subclusters observed. Although there was close contact between sheep cattle during period, surprisingly not detected faeces. Conclusions: The cluster indicated both unrelated closely related strains. choice loci to target MLVA is important subtyping result, as high diversities are essential discriminating isolates. Significance Impact Study: There lack data available on use describe changes over time animal reservoirs environment. Such needed order further develop typing method.
