Laboratory methods
Laboratory methods for VTEC detection and typing
The laboratory methods for the detection, identification, and typing of VTEC and other pathogenic E.coli are available in this section.
A report on the performance data of the ISO/TS 13136 procedure for the detection of STEC/VTEC in food, based on the results of the PTs organized by the EU-RL, is also available. Such a report can be used as reference for the purpose of accreditation of the method.
