Description:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Escherichia coli Identification (FDA-ECID) microarray provides rapid molecular characterization of E. coli. The effectiveness of the FDA-ECID for characterizing Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) was evaluated by three federal laboratories and one reference laboratory with a panel of 54 reference E. coli strains from the External Quality Assurance program. Strains were tested by FDA-ECID for molecular serotyping (O and H antigens), Shiga toxin subtyping, and the presence of the ehxA and eae genes for enterohemolysin and intimin, respectively. The FDA-ECID O typing was 96% reproducible among the four laboratories and 94% accurate compared with the reference External Quality Assurance data. Discrepancies were due to the absence of O41 target loci on the array and to two pairs of O types with identical target sequences. H typing was 96% reproducible and 100% accurate, with discrepancies due to two strains from one laboratory that were identified as mixed by FDA-ECID. Shiga toxin (Stx) type 1 subtyping was 100% reproducible and accurate, and Stx2 subtyping was 100% reproducible but only 64% accurate. FDA-ECID identified most Stx2 subtypes but had difficulty distinguishing among stx|, stx|, and stx| genes because of close similarities of these sequences. FDA-ECID was 100% effective for detecting ehxA and eae and accurately subtyped the eae alleles. This interlaboratory study revealed that FDA-ECID for STEC characterization was highly reproducible for molecular serotyping, stx and eae subtyping, and ehxA detection. However, the array was less useful for distinguishing among the highly homologous O antigen genes and the stx|, stx|, and stx| subtypes.
