Natural reservoirs of Escherichia albertii remain unclear. In this study, we detected E. albertii by PCR in 248 (57.7%) of 430 raccoons from Osaka, Japan, and isolated 143 E. albertii strains from the 62 PCR-positive samples. These data indicate that raccoons could be a natural reservoir of E. albertii in Japan.
大肠杆菌埃希氏菌的自然宿主仍不清楚。在这项研究中,我们通过 PCR 在来自日本大阪的 430 只浣熊中检测到 248 只(57.7%)含有大肠杆菌埃希氏菌,并从 62 个 PCR 阳性样本中分离出 143 株大肠杆菌埃希氏菌。这些数据表明,浣熊可能是日本大肠杆菌埃希氏菌的天然宿主。
