FAQs

Can this assay differentiate between STEC serogroups?

No, it detects the presence of virulence markers common to STEC strains. Serotype-specific assays may be used for further differentiation.

What are the primary targets of this assay?

The assay detects the stx1, stx2, and eae genes associated with STEC pathogenicity.

Is this assay suitable for complex matrices like dairy or spices?

Yes, the assay is validated for diverse food matrices, including complex samples.

Does this assay require additional confirmation testing?

Confirmation testing may be required depending on regulatory requirements or specific laboratory protocols.
