Evaluation of 5'-nuclease and hybridization probe assays for the detection of shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in human stools.

Abstract:

:5'-Nuclease and a hybridization probe assays for the detection of shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli were validated with regard to selectivity, analytical sensitivity, reproducibility and clinical performance. Both assays were capable of detecting the classical stx(1) and stx(2) genes when challenged with reference strains of E. coli (n=40), although 1 to 4 minority sequence variants, whose clinical relevance is limited (stx(1c), stx(1d), and stx(2f)), were detected less efficiently or not at all by one or both assays. No cross reaction was observed for both assays with 37 strains representing other gastrointestinal pathogens, or normal gastrointestinal flora. Analytical sensitivity ranged from 3.07 to 3.52 log(10) and 3.42 to 4.63 log(10) CFU/g of stool for 5'-nuclease and hybridization probe assay, respectively. Reproducibility was high with coefficients of variation of
