Serotyping of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) has been contingent upon the availability of antisera. Here we describe a 7-plex microbead-based immunoassay to simultaneously serotype seven STECs (i.e., belonging to serogroups O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, O145, and O157) by the Luminex xMAP® technology. This technology presents many advantages: Its multiplexed format (up to 100 analytes) saves time, reagents, and test sample, and many regulatory agencies currently utilize this platform for other assays. In this study, a total of seventy-nine STEC strains belonging to the 7 different serogroups of interest were tested. These strains had been previously serotyped and their serogroup was confirmed by PCR. Except for one strain belonging to the O111 serogroup, nearly all strains (i.e., 98.7%; 78/79) were correctly identified on the Bio-Plex 100 instrument in less than 4h. This newly developed microbead-based immunoassay could be extended to include other STEC serogroups, virulence factors, and/or bacterial species.

:产生志贺毒素的大肠杆菌(STEC)的血清分型取决于抗血清的可用性。在这里,我们描述了一种基于7重微珠的免疫测定方法,通过LuminexxMAP®技术同时对7个STEC(即O26,O45,O103,O111,O121,O145和O157血清群)进行血清分型。这项技术具有许多优点:它的多重格式(最多100种分析物)节省了时间,试剂和测试样品,并且许多监管机构目前都将该平台用于其他测定。在这项研究中,共测试了7种STEC感兴趣的血清型,共79种。这些菌株先前已进行血清分型,并通过PCR确证了它们的血清组。除了一个属于O111血清群的菌株外,几乎所有的菌株(即98.7%; 78/79)都可以在不到4小时的时间内在Bio-Plex 100仪器上正确识别。这种新开发的基于微珠的免疫测定法可以扩展到包括其他STEC血清群,毒力因子和/或细菌种类。
