An important challenge relating to clinical diagnostics of the foodborne pathogen Shiga toxin-
producing E. coli (STEC), is that PCR-detection of the shiga-toxin gene (stx) in DNA from …

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) have been linked to food-borne disease
outbreaks. As PCR is routinely used to screen foods for STEC, it is important that factors …

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of pathogens from pure culture provides unparalleled
accuracy and comprehensive results at a cost that is advantageous compared with …

It would be desirable to have an unambiguous scheme for the typing of Shiga toxin-
producing Escherichia coli (STEC) isolates to subpopulations. Such a scheme should take …

The isolation of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) other than serogroup O157
from clinical stool samples is problematic due to the lack of differential phenotypic …

Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains are often found in food and cause
human infections. Although STEC O157: H7 is most often responsible for human disease …

The characterization of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is necessary to
assess their pathogenic potential, but isolation of the strain from complex matrices such as …

Many infections caused by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are undiagnosed,
particularly non-O157 STEC. We evaluated the use of a multiple protocol approach to …

Strains of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are a serious threat to the health,
with approximately half of the STEC related food-borne illnesses attributable to …

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)–mass spectroscopy assay was developed to identify
non-O157 Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) with Plex-ID biosensor system, a …
