pubmed:abstractText |
Four-hundred and fourteen faecal samples from pigs with diarrhoea, oedema disease or healthy pigs, were collected from 65 piggeries located in different areas of Spain from 1986 to 1991. A total of 1334 Escherichia coli cultures were isolated from the pigs and studied for production of heat-labile (LT) and heat-stable (STa) enterotoxins, verotoxin (VT) and for type 1 (CNF1) and type 2 (CNF2) cytotoxic necrotizing factors. Strains producing enterotoxins (P < 0.001) or verotoxin (P < 0.05) were associated with enteric diseases of pigs. In the majority (82.3%) of piglets with strains, producing verotoxin the strains were also positive for production of STa enterotoxin. The most frequent toxin detected was STa. Although we isolated strains producing CNF1 from 1.5% of sick pigs, they were not statistically associated (P < 0.7) with enteric disease. Pigs may constitute a natural reservoir of CNF1 producing E. coli strains in Spain; their presence in the porcine intestine may be of significance in public health because such strains have been associated with human extraintestinal infections.
