Description: Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) are Gram-negative and facultative anaerobic bacteria. EHEC are major foodborne pathogens causing from simple diarrhea, to hemorrhagic colitis (bloody diarrhea) and hemolytic uremic syndrome, that ultimately can lead to acute renal failure in children. These clinical features result mainly from the action of the virulence factors encoded by EHEC strains, the Shiga toxins (Stx1 and Stx2), plus an intimin, eae, and/or a hemolysin, ehxA. Escherichia coli Typing ehxA (EHEC) qPCR Kit is designed for the in vitro detection of EHEC genomes. The kit is built to have the broadest possible detection profile whilst remaining specific to EHEC. 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 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.
