Objective: To explore and establish fast and sensitive typing diagnostic methods on intestinal pathogen.
Methods: All 29 isolates of Shigella. sonnei and 12 strains of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EHEC O157:H7) isolated in 1999 were carried out for typing by using pulse-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and phage typing.
Results: PFGE results of 4 outbreak incidents caused by Shigella. sonnei showed that the PFGE patterns of the strains isolated from the same incident were almost the same. It was also the same during analysing the 2 outbreak incidents caused by EHEC O157:H7, however, the PFGE patterns of the 3 individual strains of EHEC O157:H7 were different. Moreover, the phage typing method showed its fine typing ability while its being used in the analysing 12 strains of EHEC O157:H7.
Conclusion: The fine typing ability and reliability of PFGE was helpful for finding out the heredity background of intestinal pathogen and the infectious resource of the outbreak. And the epidemic situation might thus be effectively prevented from spreading.

Article Synopsis
- * Out of 544 samples analyzed from 272 bovine carcasses, 11 tested positive for O157:H7 (4.0%), and 6 of those had specific pathogenicity genes detected.
- * Additionally, 22 carcasses (8.0%) tested positive for the unspecified pathogen, but none contained the specific genes associated with pathogenicity.

Sensitive and rapid tests of Escherichia coli drug sensitivity is very important for health of human and animals. An E. coli immunosensor was built based on electrochemical detection and immune detection technologies, through pretreating screen-printed electrodes, and analyzing the optimal reaction concentration of antigen antibody binding with the AC impedance method.

Persisters are a form of dormancy in bacteria that provide temporary resistance to antibiotics. The following reports on the formation of O157:H7 E318 type II persisters from a protracted (8 days) challenge with ampicillin. O157:H7 followed a multiphasic die-off pattern with an initial rapid decline (Phase I) of susceptible cells that transitioned to a slower rate representing tolerant cells (Phase II).

The effects of natural antimicrobial compounds (garlic essential oil [GO], allyl isothiocyanate [AITC], and nisin Z [NI]) on microbiological, physicochemical and sensory characteristics of fresh sausage were assessed. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and the minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) towards Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Lactobacillus plantarum were determined in vitro. Sausages inoculated with E.

To investigate the serotypes of Diarrheagenic (DEC) isolated from diarrheal patients in Zhejiang province and to explore the identification efficiency of serological screening methods. Serological agglutination tests were carried out in 696 strains of DEC (through the identification of virulence genes) which were selected from the Infectious Diarrhea Pathogen Monitoring Network Strain Bank of Zhejiang province, from July 2009 to June 2013. Results of virulence genes, serological identification and classification were compared.
