Comparison between O Serotyping Method and Multiplex Real-Time PCR To Identify DiarrheagenicEscherichia coliin Taiwan
30 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
To compare the diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) identifications obtained between traditional O serotyping and modern virulence gene detection assays, we developed a multiplex real-time PCR assay by detecting six specific virulence genes for enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), and enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC). Among 261 clinical diarrheal stool...
