Abstract:
Objective To develop the PCR-denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) for detection of E. Coli O157: H7. Methods The virulence genes of Shiga-like toxin(SLT) and rfbE were specifically amplified by 2 sets of primers. The target gene fragments of the PCR assay were 224 bp and 499 bp, respectively. Results Analysis of 37 strains demonstrated that this PCR system was specific. The detection limit of the PCR was 4 CFU/ml. Conclusion These results indicated that the multiplex PCR-DHPLC assay can be used for specific and sensitive detection of E. Coli O157:H7.
