Multiplex PCR assay for identification of human diarrheagenic Escherichia coli.

چکیده
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 strain in a single reaction tube.

In this study 130 bulk tank milk samples which were delivered to the Pegah Pasturisation Factory inMashhad were collected randomly during the summer months. Samples were firstly enriched in modifiedtrypticase soy broth containing novobiocin, followed by plating onto sorbitol MacConkey agar supplementedwith cefixime and potassium tellurite for isolation of Escherichia coli O157:H7. Consequently ...
متن کاملValidation of five-colony pool analysis using multiplex real-time PCR for detection of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli.
Five Escherichia coli colonies/patient were studied to evaluate the reliability of a multiplex real-time PCR assay for detection of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli groups, using a pool of five colonies rather than individual colonies. Sensitivity and specificity were 98% and 100%, respectively, at a fifth of the cost of the individual colony analysis.

To compare the diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) identifications obtained between traditional O serotyping and modern virulence gene detection assays, we developed a multiplex real-time PCR assay by detecting six specific virulence genes for enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), and enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC). Among 261 clinical...

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...
