T1 - Isolation of Escherichia coli O157:H7 from Intact Colon Fecal Samples of Swine T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2003 VL - 9 IS - 3 SP - 380 SN - 1080-6059 AB - Escherichia coli O157:H7 was recovered from colon fecal samples of pigs. Polymerase chain reaction confirmed two genotypes: isolates harboring the eaeA, stx1, and stx2 genes and isolates harboring the eaeA, stx1, and hly933 genes. We demonstrate that swine in the United States can harbor potentially pathogenic E. coli O157:H7.
