The Distribution ofEscherichia coliSerovars, Virulence Genes, Gene Association and Combinations and Virulence Genes Encoding Serotypes in PathogenicE. coliRecovered from Diarrhoeic Calves, Sheep and Goat

Abstract excerpt

Ruminants, especially cattle, have been implicated as a principal reservoir of one of the enterovirulent Escherichia coli pathotypes. The detection of the virulence genes in diarrhoeic calves and small ruminants has not been studied in Egypt. To determine the occurrence, serotypes and the virulence gene markers, stx1, stx2, hylA, Flic(h7) , stb, F41, K99, sta, F17, LT-I, LT-II and eae, rectal swabs were taken...
