Abstract: Piglets watery diarrhea with high pathogenity and high mortality rate happened in many farms in Changchun area, the diarrhea piglets repeatedly tried a variety of medications,but no effect came out. From the onset of piglets intestinal wall lining,we had separated and identified some drugresistant and highly pathogenic E.coli strains.After the biochemical test,and cloning and sequencing of 16S rRNA of the strains,we compared them with the sequences in GenBank,the isolated strains had 99% homology with the 16S rRNA of E.coli sequence. After animal testing, we determined that this kind of E.coli could cause piglets watery diarrhea. Drug sensitivity test results showed that drugs commonly used in E.coli disease as treatments such as gentamicin,ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were invalid.

Key words: Escherichia coli; 16S rRNA; drug sensibility test; isolation and identification; watery diarrhea
