From February to July of 1994, 328 faecal samples from 32 herds were collected and examined for necrotoxigenic Escherichia coli (NTEC). Strains producing the cytotoxic necrotizing factors type 1 (CNF1) and type 2 (CNF2) were found on 4 and 63% of the farms, respectively. The proportion of animals infected within each herd varied from 0 to 38%. NTEC producing CNF2 were significantly more frequently isolated from calves (24%; 17 of 71) than from cows (4%; 11 of 257) (chi 2corr. 25.088; P < 0.001). Although the bovine CNF2+ strains belonged to 16 different serogroups, 5 (O15, O77, O88, O142 and O153) accounted for 44% of strains. This study confirmed that healthy cattle are a reservoir of NTEC producing CNF2, and revealed that CNF2+ strains are more frequently carried by calves than by adult cows.
1994年2月至7月,从32个牛群中采集了328份粪便样本,检测其中的产坏死毒素大肠杆菌(NTEC)。分别在4%和63%的农场中发现了产生1型细胞毒素坏死因子(CNF1)和2型细胞毒素坏死因子(CNF2)的菌株。每个牛群中受感染动物的比例在0%至38%之间。产CNF2的NTEC从犊牛中分离出来的频率(24%;71头中有17头)显著高于母牛(4%;257头中有11头)(校正卡方值25.088;P<0.001)。尽管牛源CNF2+菌株属于16个不同的血清群,但其中5个(O15、O77、O88、O142和O153)占菌株总数的44%。本研究证实健康牛是产CNF2的NTEC的宿主,并表明CNF2+菌株在犊牛中的携带频率高于成年母牛。
