Healthy cattle are the primary reservoir for O157:H7 Shiga toxin-producing E coil responsible for human food-borne infections. Because farm environment acts as a source of cattle contamination, it is important to better understand the factors controlling the persistence of E. coil O157:H7 outside the bovine gut. The E. coil O157:H7 strain MC2, identified as a persistent strain in French farms, possessed the characteristics required to cause human infections and genetic markers associated with clinical O157:H7 isolates. Therefore, the capacity of E. coil MC2 to survive during its transit through the bovine gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) and to respond to stresses potentially encountered in extra intestinal environments was analyzed. E. coil MC2 survived in... |
