Abstract

Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) has been detected in both wild and domesticated rabbits in other countries. The aim of this study was to determine whether the most pathogenic E. coli serotype, O157:H7, occurs in the Dutch domesticated rabbit population and thus could form a public health risk. To this end, faecal samples were collected from rabbits from two rabbit farms and 741 rabbits of different breeds and origin and analysed for E. coli O157:H7, using a combination of enrichment, immunomagnetic separation, selective culture, and PCR. E. coli O157:H7 was not detected in any of the samples. The results indicate that Dutch domesticated rabbits probably do not play a role in the infection of humans with E. coli O157:H7.

摘要

在其他国家，已在野生和家养兔子中检测到肠出血性大肠杆菌（EHEC）。本研究的目的是确定最具致病性的大肠杆菌血清型O157:H7是否存在于荷兰家养兔种群中，从而是否会构成公共卫生风险。为此，从两个养兔场的兔子以及741只不同品种和来源的兔子中采集粪便样本，采用富集、免疫磁珠分离、选择性培养和聚合酶链反应相结合的方法，对大肠杆菌O157:H7进行分析。在任何样本中均未检测到大肠杆菌O157:H7。结果表明，荷兰家养兔子可能在人类感染大肠杆菌O157:H7中不起作用。
