Shiga toxins 1 and 2 Primers and Probe

Aeromonas spp. associated with gastroenteritis is a major public health concern especially for young children. The ability to grow and produce toxins at cold temperatures is fundamental to its status as an emerging food pathogen1.
In addition, Cholera is a life-threatening secretory diarrhea induced by an enterotoxin secreted by Vibrio cholerae. Cholera and the cholera enterotoxin are increasingly recognized as the prototypes for a wide variety of non-invasive diarrheal diseases, collectively known as the enterotoxic enteropathies. Similarly Vibrio cholerae and other Vibrio spp. may occasionally cause isolated outbreaks associated with shellfish and improperly prepared seafood or unsanitary conditions2.
Genetic Signatures’ Enteric Bacterial Extended ASRs are designed for 3 of the most common gastroenteric pathogens from these species.
