PCR Detection of Escherichia coli O157 in Food and Sequencing of wzy Gene

doi:10.7506/spkx1002-6630-201012044

Abstract

Abstract:

A strain of Escherichia coli O157:H7 was isolated from fresh beef and named EC5. EC5 was subjected to PCR amplification and sequencing of full-length wzy gene. There was a 100% similarity between the wzy gene sequence of EC5 and that of Escherichia coli O157:H7 EDL933. Specific primers were designed based on the conserved locus of wzy gene sequences known from NCBI GenBank database for differentiating O157 strains from non-O157 ones by PCR assay. Our findings demonstrate that the wzy gene amplified by PCR is highly specific and provides a promising marker gene for the detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7.

Key words: Escherichia coli O157, PCR detection, wzy gene, sequencing
