Abstract:
Culture on cefixime, tellurite, and sorbitol-MacConkey agar after HCl treatment facilitated the growth of 410 (94%) of 436 eae-positive Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains and 17 (16%) of 107 eae-negative STEC strains. This selectivity was closely related to acid resistance in E. coli and tellurite resistance in eae-positive STEC strains.
