Histopathologic and electron microscopic examination of intestines of three calves and two cats revealed attaching effacing bacteria characteristic of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) in ileum, cecum, and colon. The attaching effacing bacteria in one of the calves contained bacteriophages, and an E. coli isolate from that calf was shown to produce Shiga-like toxin. These findings contribute to emerging evidence that attaching effacing intestinal bacteria are globally distributed pathogens in a variety of host species and that bacteriophage-mediated production of Shiga-like toxin is related to the virulence of such bacteria.
对三头小牛和两只猫的肠道进行组织病理学和电子显微镜检查发现，在回肠、盲肠和结肠中存在具有肠致病性大肠杆菌（EPEC）特征的黏附性蚀损细菌。其中一头小牛体内的黏附性蚀损细菌含有噬菌体，并且从那头小牛分离出的一株大肠杆菌被证明能产生志贺样毒素。这些发现进一步证明，黏附性蚀损肠道细菌是全球多种宿主物种中广泛分布的病原体，且噬菌体介导的志贺样毒素产生与这类细菌的毒力有关。
