Escherichia coli serotype O157:H7 was detected among bacteria collected from the Ganges River. O157:H7 isolates tested positive for stx(1), stx(2), and eae gene sequences. Identification of potentially pathogenic isolates from extensively used source water indicates that O157:H7 may be a significant but as yet underacknowledged public health concern in India.
在从恒河采集的细菌中检测到了大肠杆菌O157:H7血清型。O157:H7分离株的stx(1)、stx(2)和eae基因序列检测呈阳性。从广泛使用的水源中鉴定出潜在的致病分离株,这表明O157:H7可能是印度一个重大但尚未得到充分认识的公共卫生问题。
