摘要： Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is an important food-borne pathogen capable of causing severe gastrointestinal diseases in humans. Cattle and sheep are the natural reservoir hosts of STEC strains. Previously, we isolated 56 STEC strains from anal and carcass swab samples of cattle and sheep in farms and slaughterhouses. In this study, we performed whole-genome sequencing of these isolates and determined their serotypes, virulence profiles, sequence types (STs) and genetic relationships. Our results showed that the 56 isolates belong to 20 different STs, 29 O:H serotypes and 8 stx subtype combinations. The highly prevalent serotypes for bovine and ovine isolates were O8:H25 and O87:H16, respectively. Five serotypes of cattle or sheep isolates are novel. The majority (63%) of cattle isolates contain stx1 + stx2, subtyped into stx1a, stx2a and stx2c. In contrast, most of the sheep isolates contain stx1 only, primarily subtyped into stx1a and stx1c. None of the isolates tested eae-positive, but virulence factors such as ehxA and espP were present with variable prevalence rates. The prevalence of saa (19.6%) and espP (12.5%) in cattle isolates is much higher than that in sheep isolates, whereas that of subA (34%), katP (14.3%) and ireA (28.6%) in sheep isolates is considerably higher than that in cattle isolates. Core-genome SNP analysis revealed that the majority of isolates could be clustered based on their serotypes or STs, whereas some clustering is associated with more than one ST or serotype. Five sheep isolates (4 belonging to ST675 and serotype O76:H19 and 1 belonging to ST25 and serotype O128:H2) share STs, serotypes and stx profiles with two hemolytic uremic syndrome-associated enterohemorrhagic E. coli (HUSEC) isolates; a cattle isolate belonging to the same ST as HUSEC isolate HUSEC001 contains all the nine virulence genes tested. These data suggest a potential of the six isolates for causing severe human infections. Collectively, we described the characteristics of cattle and sheep STEC isolates from Xinjiang, China, which may be utilized in comparative studies of other geographic regions and sources of isolation, and for surveillance as well.
