Abstract

We report a multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction method for detecting enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) from strains or stool specimens. This assay detected the virulence genes stx1, stx2, and eae, without the use of probes. The method, which was validated on a collection of 143 EHEC strains, is simple, rapid, cost-effective, and sensitive.
