Revisiting the STEC testing approach: using espK and espV to make enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) detection more reliable in beef

Current methods for screening Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157 and non-O157 in beef enrichments typically rely on the molecular detection of stx, eae, and serogroup-specific wzx or wzy gene fragments. As these genetic markers can also be found in some non-EHEC strains, a number of ‘fal...
