RESUMO

Introduction. The search of Escherichia coli in foods is relevant for the Public Health because it indicates the fecal contamination and the product quality offered to the consumer. The determination of phylogenetic group and virulence factors of E. coli, allows the identification of the existence of pathogenic strains that could cause disease. Objectives: Determine the phylogenetic group and the pathogenic of Escherichia coli belonging to the patotipos isolated occurrence ETEC, EIEC, EPEC, STEC and EAEC using molecular methods obtained from Minas cheese samples, to discuss the presence of the patotipos in the samples and the meaning for Public Health. Methods. 250 isolates of Escherichia coli from 10 Minas cheese samples was used for the accomplishment of the study. Genomic DNA was extracted and in this the multiplex reaction PCR was accomplished. Results. The results demonstrated that the isolates 250, 93.2% were classified as phylogenetic group A, 3.2% as B1, 2.8% as B2 and 0.8% as D. Of the isolates 250 studied, in 96.8% (242) were found virulence factors, being 91.6% of markers for ETEC, 0.4% for EPEC and 4.8% for EAEC. Conclusions. There was predominance to virulence factors of the patotipo ETEC and the phylogenetic group A. The presence of virulence factors indicates that the cheese samples were contaminated and they could cause disease, 11 put in evidence the need of effective control measures on the part of the sanitary authorities, as well as educational campaigns.
