عنوان انگلیسی Prevalence and distribution of the stx1, stx2 genes in Shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC) isolates from cattle
چکیده انگلیسی مقاله Background and Objectives : Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains are human pathogens linked to hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome. Shiga toxins (Stx1 and Stx2) are the major virulence factors of these strains. The aim of this work was to study the prevalence and distribution of stx1 and stx2 gene in E. coli O157:H7 and non-O157:H7 strains isolated from cattle in Shiraz, Iran. Materials and Methods: Four hundred and twenty samples consisted of recto-anal mucosal swabs were collected from cattle. They were checked for the presence of the stx1 and stx2 gene using multiplex-PCR every 1 week over a 1-year period (2007-2008). Results: A total of 146 strains carrying the stx1 and stx2 gene were isolated from 51 (12.14%) cattle. Overall, 15 (3.57%) were identified as O157:H7 and 131 (31.19%) revealed to be non-O157:H7. Both stx2 and stx1 genes were detected in 51 (34.93%) STEC isolates. Genotypes stx1 and stx2 were detected in 15 (10.27%) and 78 (53.42%) respectively. Seasonal distribution of stx genes revealed high percentage of positive animals in warm seasons. The gene sequence similarity ranged from 94 to 100%. Conclusion: Frequency of stx1 and stx2 in animals and its relation to human disease is not well understood in Iran. The high prevalence of STEC in cattle seems to parallel that which is usually observed in warm seasons and it also parallels occurrence of human STEC. The higher prevalence of the stx2 gene than stx1 in strain populations isolated from cattle indicates a risk alert of E. coli O157:H7 being shed by cattle in these populations. Appropriate measures are now needed to prevent the spread of this life-threatening foodborne disease in our country.
