Summary and
additional information:
<- L. Beutin, BFR, Berlin; CB4270. Stool of Orang Utan. Germany, zoo Stuttgart. Lactose positive, Eae positive (gamma), enterohemolysin positive (e-hly), negative for sorbitol cleavage and beta-glucuronidase, verotoxin negative (stx1 and stx2); does not have shigatoxin genes (negative verocell test, negative in shigatoxin-specific ELISA test "Ridascreen Verotoxin"). Strain is similar to EPEC strains, but a typical O157:H7; possibly the strain is an EHEC that lost its phage encoded genes for Stx production. Strain-specific literature (12427). (Medium 381, incubation time: 1-2 days, pH 7, 37°C, aerobic or Medium 693, incubation time: 1-2 days, pH 7, 37°C, aerobic)
