ABSTRACT
Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) is a kind of foodborne pathogen that poses a significant threat to both food safety and human health. To address the current challenges of high prevalence and difficult subtyping of DEC, this study developed a method that combined multiplex PCR with high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis for subtyping 5 kinds of DEC. The target genes are amplified by multiplex PCR in a single well, and HRM curve analysis was applied for distinct amplicons based on different melting temperature (Tm) values. The method enables discrimination of different DEC types based on characteristic peaks and distinct Tm values in the thermal melting curve. The assay exhibited 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity with a detection limit of 0.5 to 1 ng/µL. The results showed that different DNA concentrations did not influence the subtyping results, demonstrating this method owed high reliability and stability. In addition, the method was also used for the detection and subtyping of DEC in milk. This method streamlines operational procedures, shorts the detection time, and offers a novel tool for subtyping DEC.
