The enteropathogenic Escherichia coli adherence factor (EAF) probe detects isolates of enteropathogenic E. coli that exhibit localized adherence to HEp-2 cells. A 21-base oligonucleotide probe was constructed on the basis of a sequence from within the 1-kb EAF probe and was shown to have greater sensitivity and specificity than the EAF fragment probe in detecting localized adherent E. coli.
肠致病性大肠杆菌黏附因子(EAF)探针可检测出对HEp-2细胞表现出局部黏附性的肠致病性大肠杆菌分离株。基于1 kb EAF探针内部的一段序列构建了一个21碱基的寡核苷酸探针,结果显示,在检测局部黏附性大肠杆菌时,该探针比EAF片段探针具有更高的灵敏度和特异性。
