description: The MWG E. coli O157 Array is a hybrid array comprising three different E. coli strains. The array is composed of 6176 50-mer oligonucleotides specific for E. coli strain K12 (MG1655), E. coli strain O157:H7 (EDL 933) and E. coli strain O157:H7 (RIMD0509952 / VT2-Sakai), the latter being isolated in the Sakai outbreak in Japan 1996. Oligonucleotides specific for each of these strains have been designated by the acronyms B (E. coli K12 strain MG1655), E (E. coli O157:H7 strain RIMD 0509952 / VT2-Sakai) and Z (E. coli O157:H7 strain EDL 933). A scheme of the oligonucleotide specificities for the respective strains is shown in the array manual.
