Abstract excerpt
Three methods [capillary electrophoresis (CE)-allele-specific PCR, CE-single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and CE-cleavase fragment length polymorphism (CFLP)] were developed in order to effect rapid and specific analysis of the vero toxin (VT)1 and VT2 genes of O157. The allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, which utilized specific duplex PCR with specific primers for VT1 and VT2,...
