Isolation and detection of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in clinical stool samples using conventional and molecular methods
11 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
The isolation of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) other than serogroup O157 from clinical stool samples is problematic due to the lack of differential phenotypic characteristics from non-pathogenic E. coli. The development of molecular reagents capable of identifying both toxin and serogroup-specific genetic determinants holds promise for a more comprehensive characterization of stool samples and...
