Abstract excerpt
We developed a rapid PCR method utilizing the diversity of the insertion site IS1203 for genotyping Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157 (IS1203 PCR typing). DNA fragments digested by PvuII, which cut IS1203 at one site, were ligated with themselves and detected by PCR with outward-facing primer pairs for IS1203. To minimize nonspecific bands, nested PCR was also performed. Two fingerprinting...
