  • DETECTION OF E. COLI STRAINS TY2482 AND LB226692
    Publication number: 20120315632
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to strain typing of Escherichia coli TY2482 and/or LB226692, and provides methods, compositions and kits useful for this purpose when combined, for example, with molecular mass or base composition analysis. In particular embodiments, a genetic detection assay (e.g., SNP detection assay, sequencing, etc.) is used to identify mutations in the aggregative adherence fimbria I gene cluster fimbrial subunit (aggA) gene to identify the TY2482 strain, including mutations at position 103, 158, 188, 191, 197, and 271.
