RT-qPCR and qPCR of E. coli O157:H7 from 0, 4, 8, 24, and 72 h growth in BHI. (A) The growth curve of E. coli O157:H7 at 0, 4, 8, 24, 72 h in BHI. The initial concentration was 3-log CFU/mL. (B) RT-qPCR for RNA collected from five time points. (C) qPCR for 0–72 h RNA as the negative control (NC) for DNA contamination – no DNA contamination was found in those samples. (D) qPCR for DNA collected from five time points. (E) The melting curve analysis of RT-qPCR for 0–72 h RNA.
