Article Synopsis
- Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) strains are a major cause of diarrhea, but they are hard to distinguish from regular E. coli using traditional microbiological methods.
- The study introduces a multiplex PCR system that allows for the detection of various DEC strains while including an internal control to ensure test accuracy.
- The new protocol successfully identified DEC strains in both patient and control samples, demonstrating its effectiveness and specificity for clinical use.
