영문 초록

Ninety six E. coli isolates were identified from rectal swabs of stray cats in Gwangju, Korea. Fifty (52.1%) out of the 96 isolates were classified by Escherichia O antisera into the following 14 serotypes: O6, O7, O44, O63, O119, O125, O126, O143, O153, O154, O158, O166, O167 and O168. Among them, serotype O63 was the most prevalent (13.5%). Virulence genes such as eae, sta, slt-i, slt-ii and uid a were detected by PCR. Twenty-four isolates contained the eae gene. However, none of isolates contained the sta, slt-i, slt-ii and uid a genes. The antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out using a disc diffusion method. All the isolates showed susceptibility to norfloxacin (100%) with the majority showing a high susceptibility to ciprofloxacin (95.5%), enrofloxacin (95.5%) and polymyxin B (95.5%).
