Assessment and interpretation of bacterial viability by using the LIVE/DEAD BackLight kit in combination with flow cytometry

Article Abstract:

The application of propidium iodide in combination with a green fluorescent total nucleic acid stain on UVA-irradiated cells of Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, Shigella flexneri, and a community of fresh water bacteria resulted in a clear and distinctive flow cytometric staining pattern.

Molecular subtyping and genetic analysis of the enterohemolysin gene (ehxA) from Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli and atypical enteropathogenic E. coli

Article Abstract:

The distribution of enterohemolysin subtypes, a plasmid-encoded toxin, among Escherichia coli isolates from various human and animal sources is assessed. No apparent difference that can indicate specific roles for enterohemolysin in the separate hosts is found.
