Nucleic sequences of plasmid origin are isolated from bacteria of the enterohaemorrhagicgroup (EHEC) and used for the identification of EHEC(s), especially those possessing the genes encoding the virulence factors enterohaemolysin and intimin, and more particularly the specific detection of serotype O157:H7, and in detection kits.

[object Object]

The invention concerns nucleic sequences of plasmid origin, present in bacteria of the group enterohemorrhagic(EHEC), the use of said sequences for searching for EHEC, in particular those having genes coding for enterohemolysin and intimin virulence factors, and more particularly for specific detection of the O157:H7 serotype. The invention also concerns a method using said sequences and detection kits containing them.
