HiMedia's E. coli O157:H7 Water Detection Kit provides a convenient and rapid method for detection of E. coli O157:H7 from water samples. The kit allows rapid isolation and DNA purification procedure using the miniprep spin columns that comprises of three steps viz.,
Adsorption of DNA to the membrane
Removal of residual contaminants
Elution of pure genomic DNA to yield high quality DNA
Escherichia coli O157: H7 is a rod?shaped, gram?negative, aerobic, non?fermentative bacterium that
causes hemolytic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome. The main mode of infection is through food,untreated water and unpasteurized milk. Transmission is via the fecal?oral route, and most illness has been through distribution of contaminated leafy green vegetables. E. coli O157:H7 was identified as a pathogen in 1982 following its association with two food?related outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness .HiMedia’s E. coli O157:H7 Water Detection Kit provides a convenient and rapid method for detection
