Development of methodology for quantitative detection of E. coli O157:H7 in ground beef via immunoassays and the polymerase chain reaction

Escherichia coli O157:H7 is recognized as a major human enteropathogen. Immunotechnology and DNA based methods were developed for quantitative detection of E. coli O157:H7 in ground beef. A direct spectrophotometric immuno-agglutination assay was developed for quantitation of specific Escherichia co...
