为了解上海地区猪场中大肠杆菌O157:H7的流行情况,采用增菌、选择性培养基筛选、PCR和血清型鉴定方法分离鉴定大肠杆菌O157:H7,然后利用PCR方法检测菌株的毒力因子,应用药敏纸片法进行药敏试验。结果从上海地区不同猪场的280份样品分离得到2株肠出血性大肠杆菌O157:H7,检出率为0.71%,生化试验表明该菌株与大多数O157:H7特性相同。毒力因子检测表明,其中1株携带志贺毒素基因stx1和紧密素基因eae,而另株分离株仅检测出毒力基因eae。药敏试验结果显示,这2株大肠杆菌O157:H7分离株对β-内酰胺类、氨基糖苷类、四环素类、氯霉素类、喹诺酮类、大环内酯类的24种抗生素有多重耐药性,耐药率为62.5%。因此,大肠杆菌O157:H7在闵行区的猪群中存在,且具有多重耐药性,提示应关注畜牧养殖业中抗生素的科学使用。
To investigate epidemiology of Escherichia coli(E.coli) O157:H7 in pigs in Minhang district of Shanghai,E.coli O157:H7 was isolated on enrichment and selective media and identified by PCR and serum agglutination assay.The E.coli O157:H7 isolates were also tested for their biochemical characteristics,antibiotics susceptibility and major virulence genes.As a result,two E.coli O157 isolates were obtained from 280 samples collected from three pig farms.These two isolates possessed the same biochemical characteristics as O157:H7.As shown in PCR assay,isolate EHEC01 harbored Shiga toxin gene stx1 and Intimin encoding gene eae and isolate EHEC02 had only gene eae.In antibiotics susceptibility testing,these two E.coli O157:H7 isolates showed multiple resistance to most of 24 tested antibiotics,including beta-lactam,aminoglycosides,tetracyclines,chloramphenicol,quinolones and macrolides.Multiple drug resistance of E.coli O157: H7 isolates suggests the necessity of reinforcement of reasonable use of antibiotics on pig farms.
