摘要
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 was isolated for the first time from Musca domestica L. A total of 310 ny samples was collected from 4 different farms in Obihiro-City, Hokkaido, in the summer and autumn of 1997; 5 samples carried E. coli serotype O157:H7. Using ELISA and Vero cell cytotoxicity assays, 3 isolates from 1 cattle farm produced both active Shiga-toxin type 1 (Stx1) and 2 (Stx2). These isolates also carried hemolysin and eaeA genes and harbored the SO-kb virulence plasmid of EHEC O157:H7. Based on plasmid profiles, antibiotic patterns, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based DNA finger printing analysis using random amplified polymorphic DNA, pulsed field gel electrophoresis analysis, and DNA sequences of stx(1) and stx(2), all 3 isolates from ny samples were identical. These results indicate that the house ny is capable of carrying the toxigenic EHEC O157:H7 involved in human disease.
