Genotypes of 38 isolates of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 isolated from 11 sporadic cases and one outbreak in Iwate Prefecture from 1996 to February 1997 were studied by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), in comparison with a strain of EHEC O157:H7 isolated in 1992 in Ohazama-Cho, Iwate Prefecture, and two isolates of EHEC O157:NM. In order to substantiate the genotypes classified by PFGE, Southern blotting was performed to investigate integration sites of the Shiga toxin genes (stx) in the XbaI-digested genome DNA fragments. The stx1 gene existed on an approximately 130 kb fragment in all isolates except two ones. On the other hand, the stx2 gene was observed on 11 DNA fragments in different length from 600 kb to 155 kb, indicating that the stx2 gene integrates into more heterogeneous sites of genome DNA than stx1 does. From these analyses, EHEC O157:H7 isolates examined were classified into 7 genotypes. Since half of the isolates were the same genotype as that of the isolate in 1992, it is suggested that this type of EHEC O157:H7 strain is expanding from Ohazama-Cho and Morioka City in Iwate Prefecture.
