产Vero细胞毒素（VT）大肠杆菌O157（0157 VTEC）分离自与威尔士0157 VTEC感染小社区爆发有关的零售来源的生牛肉汉堡。来自肉类和来自8名患者中的7名的菌株属于噬菌体49型，并且通过它们的VT型、质粒含量和与来自0157 VTEC菌株的VT编码噬菌体的DNA的杂交无法区分。这是第一份从英国牛肉产品中分离出0157 VTEC的报告，支持了这种微生物存在牛宿主的观点。
Vero cytotoxin (VT)‐producing Escherichia coli O157 (0157 VTEC) were isolated from a raw beefburger obtained from a retail source linked to a small community outbreak of 0157 VTEC infection in Wales. Strains from the meat and from seven of eight patients belonged to phage type 49 and were indistinguishable by their VT‐type, plasmid content and hybridization with DNA of a VT‐encoding phage from an 0157 VTEC strain. This first report of the isolation of 0157 VTEC from a beef product in Britain supports the view that there is a bovine reservoir for this organism.
