EP-1

Introduction:

 

E. coli (EHEC) typically cause acute bloody diarrhea, which may lead to hemolytic-uremic syndrome. There are > 100 serotypes of EHEC; O157:H7 is the best-known, but many others cause similar illness. EHEC have a bovine reservoir, so outbreaks often result from ingestion of undercooked beef, but many other foods (e.g., fresh produce, raw milk) and sources (e.g., direct exposure to animals) may be involved. Use stool tests to identify Shiga toxin, the Shiga toxin gene and cultures to identify EHEC.

EP-2

Introduction:

 

Enteric pathogenic E. coli comprise a group of distinct E. coli pathotypes equipped with special virulence factors, which enables these E. coli strains to colonize the human gut and cause intestinal disease (diarrhoea). The respective pathotypes, enteroaggregativen (EAEC), enteropathogenic (EPEC), enteroinvasive (EIEC) and enterotoxigenic (ETEC) E. coli can be differentiated and detected by their distinct virulence gene repertoire. The specific virulence genes are detected with this multiplex PCR assay as described below.

HSV/VZV (herpes simplex virus type 1&2 and varicella-zoster virus

Introduction:

 

The herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) can cause a wide range of signs and symptoms, varying from triv­ial mucocutaneous lesions to life-threatening infections of the central nervous system, espe­cially in immunocompromised patients and newborns. Since antiviral drugs are available, rapid and sensitive laboratory diagnosis of these virus infec­tions is important.

Carba-1

Introduction:

 

Carbapenemases are β-lactamases with versatile hydrolytic capacities. They have the ability to hydrolyze penicillins, cephalosporins, monobactams, and carbapenems. Bacteria producing these β-lactamases may cause serious infections in which the carbapenemase activity renders many β-lactams ineffective. Carbapenemases are members of the molecular class A, B, and D β-lactamases. Class A and D enzymes have a serine-based hydrolytic mechanism, while class B enzymes are metallo-β-lactamases that contain zinc in the active site. The class A carbapenemase group includes members of the IMI, GES, and KPC families.The class D carbapenemases consist of OXA-type β-lactamases such as the OXA48 like carbapenemases,    The metallo-β-lactamases belong to the IMP, VIM, SPM, GIM, and SIM families and have been detected primarily in Pseudomonas aeruginosa; however, there are increasing numbers of reports worldwide of this group of β-lactamases in the Enterobacteriaceae.
