title: [Methods for checking up screening tests for detection of shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) using PCR].
abstract: Methods for making check ups of STEC-Screening-PCRs by using internal and external systems are given. A control-DNA with identical primer binding sites in relation to the target-DNA (stx-genes) was produced and by HPLC-chromatography quantified. It was used in an internal system. But we had to use too high concentrations of this DNA for making the check up in each sample. A false negative result could be shown in samples with a low stx content as a result of this coamplification process. Therefore we used an external system. A control-DNA with heterologous primer binding sites in relation to the stx-screening-PCR and the special primers were given in each vessel. The optimized system was used for making investigations of some faecal samples from cattle.
