Abstract: A Real-time quantitative PCR method was developed for the rapid detection of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli （EHEC） O157∶H7 based on the primers and TaqMan probes which were designed for the conservative domain of rfbE gene of EHEC O157∶H7.The results showed that the sensitivity of Real-time PCR was 7.3 CFU/mL.20 from 310 samples of meat，egg，milk and its products，animal diarrhea materials and artificial contamination samples were positive detected by Real-time PCR assay，which was in accordance with the testing result according to AOAC standard.The results indicated that Real-time PCR assay was a sensitive，rapid and simple tool.
