The EscCol-cvi dtec-qPCR comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Escherichia coli cvi detection by using qPCR. Escherichia coli bacteria typically reside in the intestines of humans and animals. Most E. coli strains are harmless and play an essential role in maintaining a healthy human intestinal tract. However, some strains are pathogenic, meaning they can cause illness, including diarrhoea or infections outside the intestinal tract. The types of E. coli that can cause diarrhoea may be transmitted through contaminated food or water, or via contact with infected animals or humans. The cvi gene encodes the colicin V immunity protein, which provides resistance to colicin V. Consequently, E. coli strains that express the cvi gene can become resistant to this specific antimicrobial agent, allowing them to survive and proliferate in environments where colicin V is present.
