Abstract

An enzyme immunoassay(EIA) to detect Escherichia(E.) coli 0157 in pork was developed by using a sandwich-type assay on the 96-well microplates. All E. coli O157 strains and Citrobacter amalonaticus reacted strongly, however 29 E. coli serotypes and 15 non-E. coli bacterial strains showed negative in E. coli O157 EIA. E. coli 0157 in pork could be detected with in 13 h including 10 h in enrichment broth and 3 h in EIA. As few as 1.8 CFU of E. coli O157 per g of pork could be detected after enrichment, whereas above 1.8 >. 1 o5 CFU of E. coli O157 per g of pork could be detected without enrichment. The E. coli 0157 EIA was a sensitive, easy-to-perform and efficient method for the screening of E. coliO 157 in pork.
