Bestimmung serologischer O-Gruppen von Escherichia coli aus Bestaenden des Tiergartens Nuernberg

Note

Location Captive Subject Veterinary Species White Rhino (simum)

Infection with E.coli is still a common reason of death for new born animals. The intestinal flora of healthy animals was examined, and from the dung of Ceratotherium simum in the Zoo in Nurnberg, Germany samples were taken. The rhino had O-group 89, different from all other mammals examined. It seems that the transmission of germs does not play much of a role in the death of animals.
