The application belongs to the field of
microbiology and veterinary microbiological technology, and relates to a strain of
enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli carrying F5 and F41 fimbriae and application thereof. The strain is isolated from a fecal sample of a diarrheal calf, and is confirmed to be
enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli carrying F5 fimbriae-related genes, F41 fimbriae-related genes and ST
enterotoxin estA
gene through isolation and culture, morphological identification, biochemical identification, fimbriae
gene and
virulence gene PCR detection and
whole genome sequencing analysis. The strain has been preserved in the China General
Microbiological Culture Collection Center on June 13, 2022, and the preservation number is CGMCC No. 25077.
Pathogenicity tests show that the strain has strong
virulence and can stably establish an animal infection model.
Drug sensitivity tests show that the strain has a specific sensitivity spectrum to a variety of antibacterial drugs. The strain can be used for animal infection model establishment,
antibacterial drug evaluation, calf
diarrhea pathogenesis research, prevention and control
technology research, and can also be used for preparing biological agents for preventing or diagnosing calf
diarrhea.
