We compared fecal samples with samples collected with rectoanal mucosa swabs (RAMS) to determine the prevalence of Escherichia coli O157 in feedlot cattle (n = 747). Escherichia coli O157 was detected in 9.5% of samples collected with RAMS and 4.7% of samples tested by fecal culture. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis of isolates suggested that the strains colonizing the rectoanal junction were the same as those from the feces. Mucosal swab sampling was more sensitive than fecal sampling for determining the prevalence of E. coli O157 in feedlot cattle.
我们将粪便样本与经直肠肛门黏膜拭子(RAMS)采集的样本进行比较,以确定饲养场牛(n = 747)中大肠杆菌O157的流行情况。通过RAMS采集的样本中,9.5%检测出大肠杆菌O157,而粪便培养检测的样本中这一比例为4.7%。对分离菌株的脉冲场凝胶电泳分析表明,定殖于直肠肛门连接处的菌株与粪便中的菌株相同。对于确定饲养场牛中大肠杆菌O157的流行情况,黏膜拭子采样比粪便采样更敏感。
