Description
Siti Rakhma Afriana, Widagdo Sri Nugroho, and Widodo Suwito screened Australian beef cattle held in quarantine in Indonesia for a dangerous strain of Escherichia coli that can cause severe food poisoning. Between March and November 2025 they gathered six hundred eighty samples, nearly all dung, from five quarantine sites in West Java and Banten. Lab work confirmed the strain and hunted for toxin and resistance genes.
Sixteen samples carried the target strain, and about two thirds of those isolates held genes for Shiga toxins. Most isolates still responded to common antibiotics, with tetracycline resistance the most frequent exception. Worryingly, resistance genes often sat hidden in bacteria that looked sensitive in standard tests, ready to wake under drug pressure. The authors argue quarantine checks should include gene screening, not just growth tests.
