I.; Aboaba, O.O.; Odeigha, P.; Shodipo, K.; Adeyeye, J. A.; Ibrahim, A.; Adebiyi, T.; Onibokun, H.; Odunukwe, N. N.One hundred samples from healthy animals were screened for the presence of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli 0157: H7 and 17 were positive for EHEC 0157:H7 after confirmation using serology kits. Antibiotic susceptibility patterns showed the isolates to be highly susceptible to the various antibiotics screened with a few showing multiple antibiotic resistance. The plasmid profiles revealed that 8/17 (47%) of the animal isolates harboured detectable plasmids ranging in size from 0.564 kb to >23 kb.
