Abstract

Abstract:

Specific primers targeting for the stx gene of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) were designed, and a colony PCR assay method was then developed based on first screening and selective culture in this study. The assay method could specifically identify E. coli O157 carrying stx1 and stx2 genes, while normal E. coli, Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus could not produce any PCR products. A STEC strain carrying stx1 gene was detected using the assay method in commercial pork and beef products. The method developed in this study is applicable to food samples for the detection of STEC.

Key words: Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, food detection, stx, colony PCR
