Results available.
This research project aims to develop a reliable method for the detection of verocytotoxin-producing E. coli (VTEC) in foods.
This research project aims to develop accelerated methods for detecting two groups of foodborne pathogens - salmonella and verocytotoxin producing strains of E. coli.
Results available.
This research project aims to develop a rapid dipstick test for the detection of verocytotoxin-producing E. coli (VTEC) in food samples.
Results available.
This research project aims to gain a better understanding of the means and mechanisms of toxin production by non-culturable verocytotoxigenic Escherichia coli.

This research project aims to develop a rapid detection technique for identification of verocytotoxin-producing E. coli (VTEC), suitable for use by surveillance laboratories.
Results available.
This research project aims to develop a rapid and low cost assay for the sensitive detection of verotoxin and all verotoxin producing E. coli (VTEC).
Results available.
