Abstract excerpt
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a major foodborne pathogen capable of causing diarrhea and vomiting, but more serious complications such as hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) can result. A real-time PCR method to detect the presence of Shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC) and E. coli O157:H7 was investigated using SYBR Green I (SG). Primers were designed to target the Shiga toxin...
