The Gastroenteric Disease Laboratory is located in the Department of Veterinary Science at The Pennsylvania State University, under the direction of Dr. Chobi DebRoy. This laboratory functions as a reference center by accepting diagnostic cultures for characterization from outside sources. Standard strains, micro-screening sera, and testing kits are available to diagnostic laboratories and research institutions in the USA and Canada for a nominal fee. These products are for the specific detection and identification of fimbrial adhesions on animal isolates of E. coli.
Colored latex makes test results easy to read and end-points are reached in a few minutes.
These strains can be selected based on serological, fimbrial, toxin, and biochemical profile. If you have comments or suggestions concerning this site, please contact the Webmaster .
