Quantification of specific E. coli in gut mucosa from Crohn's disease patients

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

We here present a method based on qRT-PCR to quantify E. coli LF82 in intestinal human samples. Two different primer-probe sets were designed to detect LF82, and a third to target total E. coli. The assay showed high robustness and specificity for detection of LF82 in the presence of intestinal tissue.
