Abstract
Primers specific for enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) 0157:H7 bacteria have been designed which are useful for detecting the bacteria by polymerase chain reaction methods. The primers were derived from DNA sequences contained within a 60-MDa plasmid which is present in most EHEC. The primers may also be used in combination with primers derived from other sequences of significance, the conserved sequences of Shiga-like toxins I and II and the eaeA gene, in a single simultaneous amplification reaction to specifically identify EHEC serotype 0157.
