Prevalence of E. coli O157
We assessed the prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 in irrigation water and agricultural soil samples in two District Municipalities in South Africa using standard culture-based and molecular techniques. Presumptive E. coli O157:H7 counts in irrigation water and agricultural soil samples ranged from 1.00 Log10 CFU/100 ml to 4.11 Log10 CFU/100 ml and 2.20 Log10 CFU/g to 4.21 Log10 CFU/g respectively (P ≤ 0.05). Thirteen (28%) of the confirmed isolates (…
Antibiogram imprints of E. coli O157
The antibiogram signatures of E. coli O157:H7 (n=46) recovered from irrigation water and agricultural soil samples were assessed using the standard disc diffusion method against a panel of 16 antibiotics and molecular methods. The prevalent antibiotic resistance patterns follow the order: cefuroxime (95.7%), nitrofurantoin (93.5%), ampicillin (73.9%), chloramphenicol (71.7%), cefotaxime (60.9%) and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (58.7%). The antib…
