description	Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome caused by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, STEC, is endemic in Argentina. Although the disease is classified as a Food Transmitted Disease, person-toperson infection has been postulated to have a high impact in our country. Given the close relationship between pets and their owners, the pet-owner transmission route has been analyzed in urban centers. The aim of this work is to communicate the risk-factor analysis in pets that carry STEC in Buenos Aires, Argentina, providing useful information to evaluate the risk of transmission of this pathogen. Rectal swabs were collected from 149 cats and 450 dogs from April 2005 to March 2006. A questionnaire was filled in for each animal. Bacteria from samples were cultured and screened for Shiga-toxin genes (stx) by PCR. STEC isolated were recovered from stx-positive samples, in this study, all isolated strains were stx2+. Of the 113 healthy cats sampled, 4 (2.7%) were stx+. Of the 373 healthy dogs, 4 (1.1%) were stx+, while 1 of 29 (3.4%) dogs with diarrhea was infected. Statistical analyses of 12 parameters revealed several risk-factors for the presence of STEC: potentially contaminated food, age of the pets, frequent pet-to-pet contact and season. No significant differences between healthy or diarrheic pets concerning risks for carrying STEC were observed.

Degregorio, O.J. 2008 El Síndrome Urémico Hemolítico causado por Escherichia coli shigatoxigénico, STEC, es endémico en Argentina. Si bien es una enfermedad de Transmisión Alimentaria, se postula que el contagio persona-persona tiene alto impacto en nuestro país. Dada la estrecha relación personas-animales de compañía en los centros urbanos, esta ruta ha sido evaluada. El objetivo del trabajo es comunicar los factores de riesgo asociados a la portación-infección por STEC en animales de compañía de Buenos Aires, Argentina, proporcionando información útil para evaluar el riesgo de transmisión de este patógeno. Se recolectaron hisopados rectales de 149 gatos y 450 perros desde abril de 2005 a marzo de 2006. Se elaboró una ficha epidemiológica para cada animal. Se realizó rastrillaje de los genes de Shigatoxina (stx) en los cultivos bacterianos por PCR. Todas las cepas aisladas en los cultivos stx+ fueron stx2+. De los 113 gatos clínicamente sanos evaluados, 4 (2,7%) fueron stx+. De los 373 perros clínicamente sanos 4 (1,1%) fueron stx+ mientras que de 29 perros con diarrea 1 fue positivo (3,4%). El análisis de 12 parámetros, evidenció algunos factores de riesgo de presencia de STEC: comida potencialmente contaminada, edad del animal, contacto frecuente con otras mascotas y estación del año. No se determinaron diferencias significativas entre los animales clínicamente sanos o diarreicos respecto al riesgo de portación de cepas STEC. application/pdf 1514-6634 (impreso) 1668-3498 (en línea) STEC Síndrome Urémico Hemolítico factores de riesgo gatos perros STEC Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome risk-factor cats dogs spa Universidad de Buenos Aires.
