Description
Description: Enterohemorrhagic and Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EHEC and EPEC) are Gram-negative and facultative anaerobic bacteria. They are diarrheagenic E. coli pathotypes. Whereas EHEC strains encode for Shiga toxins (Stx1 and Stx2), plus two virulence factors, an intimin, eae, and a hemolysin, ehxA, EPEC strains only encode for the intimin, eae. EHEC strains can cause severe foodborne disease. EPEC strains are among the most important pathogens infecting children worldwide. Also, humans are the major natural reservoir of infection in EPEC while EHEC is a zoonotic disease. Escherichia coli Typing eae & ehxA (EHEC, EPEC) qPCR Kit is designed for the in vitro detection of EHEC and EPEC genomes. The kit is built to have the broadest possible detection profile whilst remaining specific to EHEC and EPEC. Thus, this kit has been designed for the specific (inclusivity) and exclusive (exclusivity) in vitro detection of these species. The primers and probe sequences have very high (>95%) homology with a broad range of EHEC and EPEC genomes based on a comprehensive bioinformatic analysis with all reference data within the NCBI database. Other closely related species are not detected. If required, a complementary kit for the detection of an endogenous gene of the species from which samples are being extracted is available at NZYTech (see Vet, Food & Pharma and Human). The complementary usage of an Endogenous Detection reaction provides a solid confirmation that nucleic acids were properly extracted from the selected biological matrix. If you require further information or have a specific question about the detection profile of this kit, please send an e-mail to info@nzytech.com and our scientific team will answer your question. This kit is designed to be used by trained users in a suitable molecular biology laboratory environment.
