Abstract:

In this study, oxyrase was added into broth that was inoculated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 to accelerate the growth of this facultative anaerobic microorganism. It was found that the Escherichia coli O157:H7 concentration in the broth added with oxyrase is much more than that of control (no oxyrase added), indicating that oxyrase has certain potential application value for rapid detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7.

Key words: oxyrase, facultative anaerobic microorganism, Escherichia coli O157:H7
