Evaluation and optimization of the DNA filter assay for direct detection of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in the presence of stool coliforms.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Direct detection of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) in mixed cultures by DNA filter assay was affected by the presence of other bacteria in the cultures. By shortening incubation to 6 h, bacterial overgrowth was minimized, allowing direct detection of ETEC in stools or mixed cultures initially containing 0.2 to 3% ETEC.

Background & Objective: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major causative agent of diarrhea. Enterotoxins and the colonization factors (CFs) are major virulence factors in ETEC infections. The bacterium binds to the intestinal epithelial cell surface through colonization factors and produces enterotoxins that cause excessive fluid and electrolyte secretion in the lumen of the intesti...
