Replace Complexity with Clarity to Detect What Matters

EHEC Intelligence You Can Trust

bioMérieux’s comprehensive solution for Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) testing combines molecular precision, evolution of culture technology, and efficient workflows to deliver fast and reliable results.

From Insight to Action

Wherever you operate, bioMérieux has you covered, helping provide faster and more accurate results for smart decisions. Enhance your operational efficiency with harmonized protocols designed to reduce cost and hands-on time*, paired with workflows adaptable to your specific needs. Unlock rapid turnaround times to release product faster and move forward with greater speed and confidence.

Our solutions not only contribute to faster, more efficient timelines, but also deliver results you can act on, enabling informed operational decision making when it matters most. By reducing presumptive positives, non-confirmed results, and unnecessary confirmation steps, organizations can avoid unnecessary product hold, scrap, or diversion — keeping operations running smoothly and product moving forward.

*Harmonized protocols for Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, and Top 6 E. coli O-Groups - one enrichment, one DNA extraction, multiple results

End-to-End EHEC Detection and Confirmation

GENE-UP

Detection

GENE-UP® PEC
Detect true EHECs and reduce non-confirmed positives up to 60%***

GENE-UP® EH1
Detect stx and eae virulence genes

GENE-UP® EH2

PODCAST

The Beef Podcast Show: David Tomas & Dr. Vikrant Dutta: STEC Detection in Beef

In this episode of The Beef Podcast Show, David Tomas and Dr. Vikrant Dutta from bioMérieux explore how regulation, science, and industry challenges intersect in modern beef safety management. From regulation to industry challenges, they explain what PEC, STEC, and E.coli O157:H7 mean for the beef sector—and why it matters. Explore the future of export/import regulations, evolving risks, and the impact of diagnostics to rapidly identify samples containing Shiga Toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC).
