Genomic identification of microbes in the family Enterobacteriaceae using a qPCR-based assay. Enterobacteria are gram-negative, rod-shaped (bacilli) bacteria that include several pathogens such as Shigella, Salmonella, Klebsiella and E. coli. Also known as Bile-tolerant gram-negative bacteria, several of the members live in animal intestines (enteric bacteria). Levels less than 1,000 cfu/g on plant material is recommended by AHP.
Genomic identification of STEC using a qPCR-based assay. STEC is a type of E. coli bacteria that produces a toxic substance known as Shiga toxin. Shiga toxin is most wildly implicated in reported E. coli disease outbreaks of which the E. coli strain O157 is a common causal agent. STEC is a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family.
