Article Synopsis
- Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) strains, linked to red meat outbreaks, pose serious global food safety issues, especially since current detection methods often yield false positives due to non-pathogenic strains.
- This study focused on developing and validating four new hydrolysis probe assays specifically designed to detect pathogenic E. coli serogroups O26, O103, O111, and O121, showing an impressive accuracy of 94.8% in identifying virulent strains.
- The newly standardized assays offer reliable detection tools for food laboratories worldwide, helping to mitigate waste and financial losses from incorrect positive test results associated with harmless non-pathogenic E. coli.
The characteristics of sorghum anthers at 18 classified developmental stages provide an important reference for future studies on sorghum reproductive biology and abiotic stress tolerance of sorghum pollen. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is the fifth-most important cereal crop in the world.
