Abstract
A commercially available E coli probe kit was used to test 1 lactose n egative E coli isolate and 2 hydrogen sulphide-producing E coli isolat es. The isolates were confirmed as E coli by means of the API system. The GENETRAK E coli DNA probe kit reacted positively with the lactose negative isolate, but negatively with the hydrogen sulphide-producing isolate.
