Shedding patterns of verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli strains in a cohort of calves and their dams on a Scottish beef farm
Article Abstract:
Strains of verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) are isolated by using PCR and DNA prob hybridization tests and are characterized with respect to serotype, vercocytotoxin gene (vtx) type and the presence of the intimim (eae) and hemolysin (ehxA) genes. VTEC 026 strains from calves are characterized by the presence of the vtx, eae, and ehxA genes whereas vtx2 is associated with VTEC 02 and provisional serogroup E40874.

Temporal shedding patterns and virulence factors of Escherichia coli serogroups O26, O103, O111, O145, and O157 in a cohort of beef calves and their dams
Article Abstract:
A longitudinal study investigating the onset and subsequent pattern of shedding of Escherichia coli is presented. All strains of E. coli isolated in this study were screened for genes encoding enterehemolysin and the known virulence factors verocytotoxin 1, verocytotoxin 2, and intimin.

Prevalence and virulence factors of Escherichia coli serogroups O26, O103, O111, and O145 shedby cattle in Scotland
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on the prevalence of Escherichia coli O26, O103, O111, and O145 in feces of Scottish cattle, by conducting a national survey. It was observed that this had a very bad effect on the soil and in turn on farming.
