A rapid and simple method of detecting enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) was developed. The procedure is based on amplifying by the PCR method a 326-bp region of the bundle-forming pilus gene of EPEC. The oligonucleotide DNA primers used in this procedure did not amplify DNA of any other bacterial enteropathogens tested. The procedure was 100% specific for EPEC strains that exhibit a characteristic pattern of attachment (localized adherence) to HeLa cells.
开发了一种快速简便的检测肠致病性大肠杆菌(EPEC)的方法。该方法基于通过PCR方法扩增EPEC束状菌毛基因的一个326bp区域。此方法中使用的寡核苷酸DNA引物不会扩增所检测的任何其他细菌性肠道病原体的DNA。该方法对表现出对HeLa细胞具有特征性附着模式(局部黏附)的EPEC菌株具有100%的特异性。
