An interlaboratory study on the detection method for Escherichia albertii in food using real time PCR assay and selective agars.

Escherichia albertii is an emerging enteropathogen. Although E. albertii-specific detection and isolation methods have been developed, their efficiency on food samples have not yet been systematically studied.
