Further Information
The BACGene Mplex STEC Screen real-time PCR kit provides the materials for the rapid and reliable detection of Shiga toxins encoded by the stx1 and stx2 genes.
An additional genetic marker, eae, which encodes the adhesion factor Intimin, is known to enhance the virulence of STEC.
The kit can be used as a screening step in the Top7 workflow, or as confirmation following a positive PCR result for O157.
It detects DNA in various food products and environmental samples originating from food production facilities.
The kit is intended for use in analytical laboratories, but may also be used for other purposes in the field of research and food product analysis, such as microbial monitoring of production processes.
