Abstract

Background and Objectives: Escherichia coli O157: H7 is one of the most important causes of hemorrhagic colitis, and hemolytic uremic syndrome. The present study aimed to isolate E. coli O157: H7 from foods and patients with hemorrhagic colitis, and identify Shiga toxin genes, phylogenetic comparison, and antibiotic resistance of the isolates. Materials and Methods: In total 400 samples, including patients stool and food were taken in Isfahan-Iran province. Phenotypic tests and PCR were performed to identify Shiga toxin-producing E. coli. The isolated strains were compared phyloge-netically by PFGE. Agar disk diffusion was performed to identify the antibiotic resistance of the isolates. Results: Totally, 5 isolates of fecal samples were E. coli O157, but only 2 isolates carried H7 gene. Also, 9 isolates of E. coli O157 were isolated from food samples that 3 isolates were E. coli O157: H7. The isolates carried stx1, stx2, hlyA and eaeA genes. Also, E. coli non-O157: H7 identified from samples that contained stx1, stx2, hlyA genes. The highest susceptibility to imipenem and the highest resistance to ampicillin and ciprofloxacin were observed. There was a similarity of 100% between the E. coli O157: H7 strains isolated from patients and raw milk and minced beef samples. Conclusion: Serotypes other than the O157 of E. coli are more prevalent in patients and food. The E. coli O157: H7 isolates from patients had 100% genetic similarity with minced meat and cow milk isolates, which indicates cattle are the most im-portant reservoir of this bacterium in Iran. © 2024 The Authors.
