Two immunoassays (Shiga Toxin Chek and Shiga Toxin Quik Chek) and real-time PCR were used to detect Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli. For enriched culture, the sensitivity and specificity of the three methods ranged from 80.0% to 98.2% and 98.0% to 100.0%, respectively. STEC isolates were identified in 2.6% of the 784 samples.
采用两种免疫测定法(志贺毒素检测法和志贺毒素快速检测法)以及实时聚合酶链反应(PCR)来检测产志贺毒素大肠杆菌。对于富集培养物,这三种方法的灵敏度和特异性分别在80.0%至98.2%以及98.0%至100.0%之间。在784份样本中,2.6%的样本鉴定出产志贺毒素大肠杆菌(STEC)菌株。
