Identification of Escherichia coli O114 O-Antigen Gene Cluster and Development of an O114 Serogroup-Specific PCR Assay
1 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
Screening for the Escherichia coli O serotype is the traditional test for identification of E. coli clones. The O-antigen gene cluster of the E. coli O114 type strain was sequenced, and 12 open reading frames were assigned functions on the basis of homology. By screening against all 186 E. coli and Shigella O serotypes, five genes specific to E. coli O114 were identified. A PCR assay based on the...
