Abstract
We performed pulsed-field gel electrophoresis on Escherichia coli O157 isolates (n = 318) from 199 healthy animals in a longitudinal study carried out on nine farms. Investigation of the restriction types proved that at the farm level, the same clones can be detected on sampling occasions separated by as much as 17 months. The cohort animals were repeatedly sampled, and for some of these, the same clones were obtained on sampling occasions separated by as much as 8 months.Entities:
