Pre‐treatment of a 5‐h enrichment culture with an automated immunoconcentration (ICE) system greatly improved the isolation of Escherichia coli O157:H7 from spiked heifer faecal samples. Enrichment samples plated directly onto sorbitol MacConkey agar (SMAC) and SMAC agar supplemented with cefixime and potassium tellurite (CT‐SMAC) showed recovery rates of 8% and 56%, respectively. However, after ICE treatment, E. coli O157:H7 was recovered from 92% of the samples on SMAC and 100% on CT‐SMAC. Immunoconcentration analysis of heifers' faecal samples collected from a slaughter‐house in France, during March to June 1998, showed that 1% (three of 300) was positive for E. coli O157:H7. Phenotypic and genotypic analysis showed that all three isolates carried both the O157 and H7 antigens, did not ferment sorbitol or had β‐glucuronidase activity and carried trait virulence factors for E. coli O157:H7 (uidA allele, eaeA and pO157 plasmid). However, only one strain was toxigenic and this strain produced a single toxin, namely verotoxin 2.
