For three years investigations from 1996 to 1998, we tried to isolate Escherichia coli O157:H7 from fecal samples collected from dogs and cats. In results, E. coli O157:H7 was isolated from 1 out of 614 samples (0.16%). This isolate produced Stx1 and Stx2 and was isolated from a dog kept by a human patient infected with E. coli O157:H7. Excluding in this case, dogs and cats as companion animals, therefore, may not give harbor to E. coli O157:H7.
在1996年至1998年的三年调查中,我们试图从狗和猫的粪便样本中分离出大肠杆菌O157:H7。结果,在614个样本中有1个(0.16%)分离出了大肠杆菌O157:H7。该分离株产生Stx1和Stx2,并且是从一名感染了大肠杆菌O157:H7的人类患者饲养的狗身上分离出来的。因此,排除这种情况,作为伴侣动物的狗和猫可能不会携带大肠杆菌O157:H7。
