Multiplex PCR for detection of the heat-labile toxin gene and shiga-like toxin I and II genes in Escherichia coli isolated from natural waters
1 Sept 1994
Abstract excerpt
A triplex PCR method was developed to simultaneously amplify a heat-labile toxin sequence (LT) of 258 bp, a shiga-like toxin I sequence (SLT I) of 130 bp, and a shiga-like toxin II sequence (SLT II) of 346 bp from toxigenic strains of Escherichia coli. This method was used to screen 377 environmental E. coli isolates from marine waters or estuaries located in Southern California and North Carolina for...
