[Sensitivity of Escherichia coli O157:H7, a pathogen of hemorrhagic colitis, to antibacterial drugs].

: Antibioticograms of enterohemorrhagic strains of serogroup O157 Escherichia coli isolated in the Russian Federation and Japan were comparatively studied. Strains with multiple drug resistance were detected. The main biochemical characteristics of the isolates were investigated. Significant differences in susceptibility spectra of the isolates and in their fermentative properties were revealed.
