Enteric infection of a goat with enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (0103:H2)

panophthalmitis with cataracts and focal retinal detachment,mucopurulent bronchitis and fibrinous pneumonia, and lym-phoid depletion in mesenteric lymph node and Peyer’s patch-es. The umbilical cord contained numerous bacterial coloniesin the lumen of vessels and foci of necrosis in vessel wallsand surrounding tissue. These foci contained necrotic inflam-matory cells and bacterial colonies.Antemortem laboratory results included immunoglobulinlevel < 500 mg/dl (1,000-1,500 mg/dl normal), rotavirus byenzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on feces, heavy growthof a smooth/mucoid colony type of Escherichia coli (aerobicculture) and moderate growth of
