Development of a multiplex PCR assay for detection of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Enterohemorrhagic E. coli and Enteropathogenic E. coli strains

Escherichia coli O157:H7 and other pathogenic E. coli strains are enteric pathogens associated with food safety threats and which remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In the current study, we investigated whether enterohemorrhagic E.coli (EHEC), Shiga toxin-producing E. c...
