Súhrn: Reliable methods for the detection and characterization of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are essential for food safety. In this study, two pairs of PCR primers with respective TaqMan probes were used in real-time PCR for this purpose. The method efficiently amplified all variants of the Shiga toxin genes stx1 or stx2. A detection limit of 101 CFU per sample was determined for the complete method with meat swab samples artificially contaminated with reference E. coli strains positive for Stx1 or Stx2 production. The optimized complete detection system was suitable for rapid and sensitive detection of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli strains in meat swabs.
