The BACGene E. coli O157:H7 kit is a multiplex real-time PCR kit for the detection and identification of O157:H7 with the option of reporting O157 (excluding H7) and O157:H7 specifically. In combination with the BACGene Mplex SEROtype kits this assay enables the detection of all of the Top7 STEC.

Details
The BACGene E. coli O157:H7 real-time PCR detection kit provides materials for a rapid and reliable detection of O157:H7 serogroup with which has caused several foodborne outbreaks. This kit allows the detection and identification of O157:H7 with the option of reporting O157 (excluding H7) or O157:H7 specifically. In combination with the BACGene Mplex SEROtype kits this assay enables the detection of all of the Top7 STEC. Detects DNA in several food products and environmental samples from food production facilities. The kit is intended to be used in analytical laboratories and may also be applied for other purposes in food product research and analysis fields, e.g. microbial monitoring of production processes.
