摘要：

In the present study, attaching and effacing Escherichia coli (AEEC) O45 isolates from post-weaning pigs with diarrhoea were examined for the presence of the LEE (locus of enterocyte effacement) using various DNA probes derived from the LEE of human enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) strain E2348/69. The LEE fragment was conserved among the eae-positive pig isolates. The attaching and effacing activity of PEPEC (pig EPEC) O45 isolates is highly correlated with the presence of the LEE. Nevertheless, for some PEPEC isolates, the insertion site of the LEE is different or has diverged during evolution. The presence of the LEE fragment in PEPEC isolates provides further evidence that the LEE region is conserved among AEEC of different animal origins. In addition, the nucleotide sequence of the region containing the eae gene and esp genes of a pig AEEC isolate, strain 1390, was determined. Among examined Eae proteins, Eae of strain 1390 showed the highest similarity with Eae belonging to the beta intimin group such as the Eae of rabbit AEEC. Moreover, all pig strains that produced attaching and effacing lesions in piglets and pig ileal explants belonged to the beta intimin group. The deduced amino acid sequences of the EspA, EspB and EspD proteins of strain 1390 showed particularly strong homology to those of AEEC strains presenting a beta intimin allele. Thus, pig AEEC possess the LEE sequences, and for the strain 1390, sequences of the eae and esp regions are related to those of other AEEC, in particular, strains presenting a beta intimin allele, such as the rabbit AEEC.
