Higher risk from hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is associated with strains positive eae and Stx2 genes only. Separation of Stx genes allow focusing clinical and laboratory effort to cases that require special attention.
We have chosen to respond to this request and included changes to the target gene identification related to EHEC. The new Amplidiag Bacterial GE now allows discrimination between Stx1 and Stx2 variants.
