Abstract excerpt
Allele-specific PCR for E. coli O157 was conducted with primers specific to verotoxin genes, verotoxin 1 (VT1) and verotoxin 2 (VT2). VT is an important cause of haemorrhagic colitis (HC) and haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) worldwide. We developed a simple, rapid bioluminescent detection method for E. coli O157. The method is based on the determination of pyrophosphoric acid (PPi) released during...
