Background: Escherichia coli consists of a wide range of strains with huge diversity in their genome, distributed in nature and the alimentary tracts of animals and humans. This study analyzed the phylogenetic group determination and genetic diversity of E. coli strains isolated from domestic animals and human clinical samples.
Methods: Twenty E. coli isolates from domestic animals were analyzed for phylogenetic grouping. Also, 100 clinical samples and 20 animal samples were evaluated by the enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus–polymerase chain reaction (ERIC-PCR) technique. The results and the similarity between the strains were determined based on the Dice similarity coefficient in the SAHN program of the NTSYS-pc software.
Results: The frequency of phylogroups among animal samples were A = 5%, B1 = 65%, B2 = 20%, and D = 10%. Based on the ERIC-PCR results, the clinical strains were allocated into 19 clusters. Most strains were in the E7 cluster. Fifty percent of the E. coli isolated from animal specimens belonged to the E4 group, and the lowest number of strains was in the E3 and E5 (1 strain) groups.
Conclusion: The results confirmed the efficiency and usefulness of the ERIC-PCR tool for the identification and classification of bacteria. Also, we demonstrated the most phylogroup among animal samples.
