In this report, we present a PCR protocol for rapid identification
of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli on a LightCycler instrument. In a multiplex assay, the genes encoding Shiga toxin 1 and
Shiga toxin 2 are detected in a single reaction capillary. A complete
analysis of up to 32 samples takes about 45 min.
