Fecal samples collected from healthy pigs from 13 of the top 17 swine-producing states were tested for Escherichia coli O157:H7 as part of the National Animal Health Monitoring System Swine 2000 study. Serogroup O157 strains were isolated from 106 of 2,526 fecal samples. None of the isolates were positive by PCR for the fliC h7 (H7 flagellin) gene or for the hly933 (hemolysin) gene; however, one isolate was positive for the stx1 gene (Shiga toxin 1), an additional four isolates were positive for the stx2 gene (Shiga toxin 2), and three isolates possessed the eae gene (intimin).
