Detection sensitivity of cassette PCR was compared with a commercial BAX ® PCR system for detection of eae and stx genes in Escherichia coli from 806 beef carcass swabs. Cassette PCR detects multiple genetic markers on multiple samples using PCR and melt curve analysis. Conventional PCR served as a gold standard. Overall, for positive and negative concordance, cassette PCR was 98.6% concordant with conventional PCR, and BAX PCR was 65.4% concordant. Of 806 beef carcass swabs, 339 by cassette PCR and 84 by BAX PCR harbored eae + stx+  E. coli . For BAX PCR reactions, 84% of eae + swabs, 79% of stx + swabs, and 86% of eae + stx + swabs were also detected by cassette PCR. For cassette PCR reactions, 457 swabs were eae + with only 117 scored as eae + using BAX PCR for 26% positive concordance. For stx primers, cassette PCR scored 480 samples as stx + but only 215 samples were stx + by BAX PCR, giving 45% positive concordance. Importantly, cassette PCR scored 339 swabs as harboring eae + stx + E. coli , but BAX PCR detected only 71 positives giving only 21% positive concordance, with many false negatives. Cassette PCR is a highly sensitive method for detection of STEC genes in E. coli found in carcass swabs.
