FAQs
No, this test detects Shiga toxin 1 and 2, even from non-O157 strains! Studies show an EIA for EHEC Shiga Toxin detects approximately 40% more EHEC O157-H7 than conventional culture, and it is also able to detect an additional 20% more Shiga-toxin producing E.coli that are non-O157-H7.
It is known that culture will miss ALL non-O157 strains. It is also known that the sensitivity for culture detecting the O-157 strains is low. The documented infection rate is about 50:50 for O157 strains vs. non-O157 strains. You should be testing for both!
