Abstract: To develop a multiplex PCR method for rapid and specific detection of Escherichia coli O157∶ H7,two pairs of primers were designed based on the rfbE and fliC genes of Escherichia coli O157∶ H7 in GenBank,from which two sets of PCR were established specific to rfbE and fliC gene,respectively.And then they were combined to a multiplex PCR after being optimized.The multiplex PCR system was evaluated for its specificity and sensitivity,and used to detect the clinical isolates.The results showed that the assay could amplify the 327 bp and 247 bp regions of corresponding genes rfbE and fliC.The multiplex PCR method had the characteristics of good specificity and repeatability,the sensitivity being 102 cfu/mL of bacteria samples.The multiplex PCR was a rapid,specific and sensitive method for the detection of Escherichia coli O157∶ H7,and provided new method for detection of Escherichia coli O157∶ H7.

Key words: Escherichia coli O157∶ H7, Multiplex PCR, rfbE gene, fliC gene
