The distribution and serotype of strains of Escherichia coli from a poultry packing station and an abattoir are described. The results indicated that animal faecal strains contaminated the environment and the animal carcasses.Using 150 O antisera, a high proportion of the E. coli strains were non-typable. This suggests that the serotype distribution of E. coli in animals is different from that in man.Strains with single antigenic differences were isolated, and the possibility of genetic transfer of these antigenic structures is suggested.
描述了来自家禽加工厂和屠宰场的大肠杆菌菌株的分布和血清型。结果表明,动物粪便菌株污染了环境和动物尸体。使用150种O抗血清,发现很大一部分大肠杆菌菌株无法分型。这表明动物体内大肠杆菌的血清型分布与人类不同。分离出了具有单一抗原差异的菌株,并提出了这些抗原结构发生基因转移的可能性。
