Seven hundred and ninety-eight Escherichia coli isolates from dogs and 113 from cats of fecal, intestinal, urinary or blood origin were studied by DNA colony hybridization with 23 gene probes for specific virulence factors and/or properties of enterotoxigenic (ETEC), enteropathogenic (EPEC), verotoxigenic (VTEC), enterohaemorrhagic (EHEC), necrotoxigenic (NTEC), diffusely adherent (DAEC), and enteroaggregative (EAggEC) strains.
