Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: E.coli is an important foodborne pathogen. Rapid and robust tracking of the source of E. coli is the key step to control foodborne infections. RESULTS: In this study, a genotyping and tracing method based on highly discriminatory single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was developed to investigate the geographical origin of E. coli in food. A highly informative set of 12 SNPs was derived from 4...
