Occurrence of Escherichia coli in Wild Cottontail Rabbits.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Free-ranging cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus) from two areas in central Pennsylvania were sampled over a 4-year period. Large numbers of coliforms were isolated from the intestinal tracts of these animals; in 136 of the 141 rabbits sampled, Escherichia coli was found to be a major component of the alimentary flora. Four serogroups (O7, O77, O73, and O103) were predominant among the isolates and were considered resistant coliflora of this species of cottontail rabbit.

متن کاملWildlife as Source of Human Escherichia coli O157 Infection
To the Editor: The article by Probert et al. (1) highlighted that wild animals (in this case, deer) can act as a reservoir of Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157 infection. Our previous research (2) broadens this to include wild animals as STEC O157 carriers. In our study, an outbreak of STEC O157 infection in eastern England was epidemiologically linked to visiting a wildlife pa...
