Escherichia coli O157:H7 cause hemorrhagic colitis and the extraintestinal complication of hemolytic-uremic syndrome, with their higher incidence occurring in children. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of E. coli O157:H7 is very important to make IgG anti-LPS with bactericidal activity. To identify the characteristic of E. coli OI57:H7, we isolated 60 MDa plasmid and amplified stx genes of shiga-like toxin (Stx) 1, 2 of E. coli O157:H7 by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Using the simple purification method which contained phenol extract, ethanol precipitation and gel filtration steps, the LPS of E. coli O157:H7 was isolated and purified. Finally, we confirmed the purity of LPS through SDS-PAGE and silver nitrate staining.
