Detection of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli by multiplex PCR.
BACKGROUND Diarrheagenic E.coli (DEC) are an important cause of childhood diarrhea.Identification of DEC strains needs to detect factors that determine the virulence of these organisms. There is not much data regarding the importance of DEC as a cause of diarrhea in children in India.The prevalence of DEC in children below five years with and without diarrhea was studied using two multiplex PCR...
متن کاملMultiplex PCR assay for identification of human diarrheagenic Escherichia coli.
A multiplex PCR assay for the identification of human diarrheagenic Escherichia coli was developed. The targets selected for each category were eae for enteropathogenic E. coli, stx for Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, elt and est for enterotoxigenic E. coli, ipaH for enteroinvasive E. coli, and aggR for enteroaggregative E. coli. This assay allowed the categorization of a diarrheagenic E. coli s...
متن کاملDetection of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli by use of melting-curve analysis and real-time multiplex PCR.
Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli strains are important causes of diarrhea in children from the developing world and are now being recognized as emerging enteropathogens in the developed world. Current methods of detection are too expensive and labor-intensive for routine detection of these organisms to be practical. We developed a real-time fluorescence-based multiplex PCR for the detection of al...
متن کاملUse of multiplex PCR assay for detection of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli in street vended food items
Pathogenic forms of Escherichia coli are commonly known to cause a variety of diarrheal diseases in hosts. Present study was designed to identify such pathogenic E. coli isolates from 7 different groups of street vended foods including cream, egg, non fried dry food and fried dry food, salad, cooked and non cooked items. Among 400 samples studied, almost all were found to be contaminated with a...
متن کاملIdentification of Different Categories of Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli in Stool Samples by Using Multiplex PCR Technique
Diarrheal diseases continue to be one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality among young children in developing countries. The objective of this s tudy was to evaluate the multiplex PCR as a rapid diagnostic tool for simultaneous detection of four categories of diarrheagenic E. coli (ETEC, EPEC, EHEC and EAEC) in one PCR reaction using six virulent genes. During the period from Ju...
