The rapid detection of Salmonella in ground meat requires that living microorganisms be brought to levels detectable by PCR, immunoassays, or similar techniques within 8 h. Previously, we employed microfiltration using hollow fiber membranes to rapidly process and concentrate viable bacteria in food extracts through a combination of enzyme treatment and prefiltration in order to prevent blockage or fouling of the hollow fiber membranes. However, scanning electron microscopy and particle size analysis of enzyme hydrolysates showed that enzyme treatment followed by filtration caused submicron particles to form and be trapped within the prefiltration media, which in turn, retained about 80% of the bacteria. Filtering prior to enzyme treatment resulted in formation of a filter cake consisting of protein particles retained on the surface of the filter, while facilitating passage of the much smaller microorganisms through the filter, separating them from particulates. Subsequent enzyme treatment of the filtrate resulted in an extract that was microfiltered in less than an hour, while concentrating viable microorganisms in the extract by 500×. An inoculum of Salmonella enterica cells into turkey burger containing of 1–20 CFU/mL, consisting of spiked cells plus cells already present in the turkey burger sample, was rapidly brought to levels detectable by conventional PCR and BAX® PCR assays. The entire procedure from sample processing to detection of Salmonella enterica was achieved in less than 8 h. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol. Prog., 33:687–695, 2017 相似文献

Direct detection of bacterial pathogens in representative dairy products using a combined bacterial concentration-PCR approach 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
AIMS: To develop a simple, rapid method to concentrate and purify bacteria and their nucleic acids from complex dairy food matrices in preparation for direct pathogen detection using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). METHODS AND RESULTS: Plain non-fat yogurt and cheddar cheese were each seeded with Listeria monocytogenes or Salmonella enterica serovar. Enteritidis in the range of 10(1)-10(6) CFU per 11-g sample. Samples were then processed for bacterial concentration using high-speed centrifugation (9700 g) followed by DNA extraction, PCR amplification, and amplicon confirmation by hybridization. Bacterial recoveries after centrifugation ranged from 53 to >100% and 71 to >100% for serovar. Enteritidis and L. monocytogenes, respectively, in the non-fat yogurt samples; and from 77 to >100% and 69 to >100% for serovar. Enteritidis and L. monocytogenes, respectively, in the cheddar cheese samples. There were no significant differences in recovery efficiency at different inocula levels, and losses to discarded supernatants were always <5%, regardless of dairy product or pathogen. CONCLUSIONS: When followed by pathogen detection using PCR and confirmation by amplicon hybridization, detection limits of 10(3) and 10(1) CFU per 11-g sample were achieved for L. monocytogenes and serovar. Enteritidis, respectively, in both product types and without prior cultural enrichment. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This study represents progress toward the rapid and efficient direct detection of pathogens from complex food matrices at detection limits approaching those that might be anticipated in naturally contaminated products. 相似文献

Rapid detection of foodborne pathogens at an early stage is imperative for preventing the outbreak of foodborne diseases, known as serious threats to human health. Conventional bacterial culturing methods for foodborne pathogen detection are time consuming, laborious, and with poor pathogen diagnosis competences. This has prompted researchers to call the current status of detection approaches into question and leverage new technologies for superior pathogen sensing outcomes. Novel strategies mainly rely on incorporating all the steps from sample preparation to detection in miniaturized devices for online monitoring of pathogens with high accuracy and sensitivity in a time-saving and cost effective manner. Lab on chip is a blooming area in diagnosis, which exploits different mechanical and biological techniques to detect very low concentrations of pathogens in food samples. This is achieved through streamlining the sample handling and concentrating procedures, which will subsequently reduce human errors and enhance the accuracy of the sensing methods. Integration of sample preparation techniques into these devices can effectively minimize the impact of complex food matrix on pathogen diagnosis and improve the limit of detections. Integration of pathogen capturing bio-receptors on microfluidic devices is a crucial step, which can facilitate recognition abilities in harsh chemical and physical conditions, offering a great commercial benefit to the food-manufacturing sector. This article reviews recent advances in current state-of-the-art of sample preparation and concentration from food matrices with focus on bacterial capturing methods and sensing technologies, along with their advantages and limitations when integrated into microfluidic devices for online rapid detection of pathogens in foods and food production line. 相似文献

Aims: To develop a new instrument of great versatility for recovering micro‐organisms from all types of food samples and to compare the effects with existing sample preparation methods. Methods and Results: To detach micro‐organisms from large‐size unbroken food samples such as apples, carrots, potatoes and tomatoes without preprocessing, the Spindle apparatus was newly developed. The Spindle was used to effectively detach micro‐organisms from large‐size samples. In a comparative study involving 51 food samples, treatment with the Spindle and Stomacher showed that recovery of total aerobic micro‐organisms (naturally occurring mesophilic microflora) and foodborne pathogens (from samples inoculated with Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium and Listeria monocytogenes) for both methods was highly correlated (R2 = 0·98). Furthermore, diluents treated by the Spindle contained much less food debris than those treated by stomaching. Conclusions: These results indicate that Spindle is a novel, effective alternative method for detaching micro‐organisms from food samples including four kinds of large‐size samples without the need for preprocessing. Significance and Impact of Study: The Spindle might be used to widely detaching micro‐organisms from all types of food samples for microbiological assay. 相似文献

The key first step in evaluating pathogen levels in suspected contaminated water is concentration. Concentration methods tend to be specific for a particular pathogen group, for example US Environmental Protection Agency Method 1623 for Giardia and Cryptosporidium, which means multiple methods are required if the sampling program is targeting more than one pathogen group. Another drawback of current methods is the equipment can be complicated and expensive, for example the VIRADEL method with the 1MDS cartridge filter for concentrating viruses. In this article we describe how to construct glass wool filters for concentrating waterborne pathogens. After filter elution, the concentrate is amenable to a second concentration step, such as centrifugation, followed by pathogen detection and enumeration by cultural or molecular methods. The filters have several advantages. Construction is easy and the filters can be built to any size for meeting specific sampling requirements. The filter parts are inexpensive, making it possible to collect a large number of samples without severely impacting a project budget. Large sample volumes (100s to 1,000s L) can be concentrated depending on the rate of clogging from sample turbidity. The filters are highly portable and with minimal equipment, such as a pump and flow meter, they can be implemented in the field for sampling finished drinking water, surface water, groundwater, and agricultural runoff. Lastly, glass wool filtration is effective for concentrating a variety of pathogen types so only one method is necessary. Here we report on filter effectiveness in concentrating waterborne human enterovirus, Salmonella enterica, Cryptosporidium parvum, and avian influenza virus. 相似文献

The rapid detection of food-borne bacterial pathogens as part of a quality control program is necessary for the maintenance of a safe food supply. In this report, we present our findings for an immunocapture PCR method for the detection of Campylobacter jejuni in foods. The method permits direct detection of the pathogen without an enrichment step and can be performed in approximately 8 h. Assay results are quantitative, and one cell in a milliliter sample can be detected. Application of the method to spiked milk samples and chicken skin washes did not affect the sensitivity of the assay. 相似文献

Direct and sensitive detection of foodborne pathogens from fresh produce samples was accomplished using a handheld lab-on-a-chip device, requiring little to no sample processing and enrichment steps for a near-real-time detection and truly field-deployable device. The detection of Escherichia coli K12 and O157:H7 in iceberg lettuce was achieved utilizing optimized Mie light scatter parameters with a latex particle immunoagglutination assay. The system exhibited good sensitivity, with a limit of detection of 10 CFU mL(-1) and an assay time of <6 min. Minimal pretreatment with no detrimental effects on assay sensitivity and reproducibility was accomplished with a simple and cost-effective KimWipes filter and disposable syringe. Mie simulations were used to determine the optimal parameters (particle size d, wavelength λ, and scatter angle θ) for the assay that maximize light scatter intensity of agglutinated latex microparticles and minimize light scatter intensity of the tissue fragments of iceberg lettuce, which were experimentally validated. This introduces a powerful method for detecting foodborne pathogens in fresh produce and other potential sample matrices. The integration of a multi-channel microfluidic chip allowed for differential detection of the agglutinated particles in the presence of the antigen, revealing a true field-deployable detection system with decreased assay time and improved robustness over comparable benchtop systems. Additionally, two sample preparation methods were evaluated through simulated field studies based on overall sensitivity, protocol complexity, and assay time. Preparation of the plant tissue sample by grinding resulted in a two-fold improvement in scatter intensity over washing, accompanied with a significant increase in assay time: ~5 min (grinding) versus ~1 min (washing). Specificity studies demonstrated binding of E. coli O157:H7 EDL933 to only O157:H7 antibody conjugated particles, with no cross-reactivity to K12. This suggests the adaptability of the system for use with a wide variety of pathogens, and the potential to detect in a variety of biological matrices with little to no sample pretreatment. 相似文献

Analysis of ethanol in fermentation samples by a robust nanocomposite-based microbial biosensor 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A robust microbial biosensor was constructed from a bionanocomposite prepared by a direct mixing of bacterial cells of Gluconobacter oxydans and carbon nanotubes with ferricyanide employed as a mediator for enhanced sensitivity of ethanol oxidation. A successful
integration of the device into flow injection analysis mode of operation provided a high sensitivity of detection of (74 ± 2.7)
μA mM−1 cm−2, a low detection limit of 5 μM and a linear range from 10 μM up to 1 mM. A short response time of the biosensor allowed a
sample throughput of 67 h−1 at 0.3 ml min−1. The biosensor exhibited high operational stability with a decrease in the biosensor response of 1.7% during 43 h of continuous
operation. The device was used to analyse ethanol in fermentation samples with a good agreement with a HPLC method. 相似文献

Direct detection of Escherichia coli O157 and foodborne pathogens associated with bloody diarrhea were achieved using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) after the preparation of DNA from stool specimens using the microspin technique. PCR was compared with cultivation and toxin production tests with respect to the efficiency of detection of each pathogen; E. coli O157, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Salmonella serovar Enteritidis and Campylobacter jejuni. Detection of some or all of the above pathogens in clinical stool specimens was achieved using PCR. The minimum number of cells required for the detection of the above pathogens by PCR was 101 CFUs/0.5 g of stool sample. PCR was completed within 6 hr. The above pathogens were also detected in cultivation and toxin production tests. Partial purification of the template DNA using the microspin technique was essential for the elimination of PCR inhibitors from the DNA samples. This PCR method is an accurate, easy-to-read screening method for the detection of Shiga-like toxin producing E. coli O157 and enteropathogens associated with bloody diarrhea in stool specimens. 相似文献

Aims: A public beach was frequently cited for health advisories because of high Escherichia coli levels, the source suspected to be a paper mill located upstream. This investigation sought to confirm whether or not the paper mill was the pollution source, and to characterize the risk to recreational bathers imposed by the source. Methods and Results: Quantification of E. coli in river water collected at incremental distances showed that paper mill effluent caused elevated E. coli levels in beach samples. Samples collected throughout the mill were variably positive for heterotrophic bacteria, total coliforms and E. coli, but negative for pathogenic E. coli O157 and Salmonella. Escherichia coli O157 or Salmonella spiked into mill samples (4·2 log10 or 5·6 log10 CFU per 100 ml, respectively) fell below detection levels within 14–24 h in raw (unaltered) samples, while in heat‐sterilized replicates, the counts remained at initial levels or increased over 36 h. Conclusions: Pathogenic E. coli O157 and Salmonella were not isolated from paper mill samples. The absence of native bacteria allowed the survival of pathogens, while their presence accelerated pathogen decline. Significance and Impact of the Study: The co‐existence of paper mill and swimming beach may be reasonable for now in spite of the limitations of an E. coli‐based assay for beach water. 相似文献

A pathogen detection methodology based on Bayesian decision theory has been developed for rapid and reliable detection of Salmonella typhimurium. The methodology exploits principles from statistical signal processing along with impedance spectroscopy in order to analytically determine the existence of pathogens in the target solution. The proposed technique is validated using a cost-effective and portable immunosensor. This device uses label-free, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for pathogen detection and has been demonstrated to reliably detect pre-infectious levels of pathogen in sample solutions. The detection process does not entail any pathogen enrichment procedures. The results using the proposed technique indicate a detection time of approximately 6min (5min for data acquisition, 1min for analysis) for pathogen concentrations in the order of 500CFU/ml. The detection methodology presented here has demonstrated high accuracy and can be generalized for the detection of other pathogens with healthcare, food, and environmental implications. Furthermore, the technique has a low computational complexity and uses a minimal data-set (only 30 data-samples) for data analysis. Hence, it is ideal for use in hand-held pathogen detectors. 相似文献

We developed a novel disposable bioassay device based on the fluorescein isothiocyanate-labelled low-density lipoprotein-uptake
activity of human hepatoblastoma Hep G2 cells. The cells were cultured in porous microcarriers at a high cell density and
packed in a filter tip that has a hydrophobic membrane. Upon evaluation of water samples, the culture medium was decanted
by pipetting it down with a micropipet, and the samples were then introduced to the cell-immobilizing part of the tip only
by pipetting them up after mixing them with ×10 concentrated culture medium. The new device enabled us to detect almost the
same toxicity levels of river water within 2 h of exposure as those detected by a conventional 48-h cell-survival assay. This
is the first bioassay device for the rapid on-site evaluation of environmental waters using cultured human cells, and therefore
promising for water-quality management based on risk to humans.

To attain Salmonella detection thresholds in spinach suspensions using enrichment media requires at least 24 hr. Separation and concentration of selected microorganisms via microfiltration and microfugation reduce time for sample preparation, especially when working with large volumes of vegetable suspensions. This facilitates accelerated detection of Salmonella in spinach suspensions, and may contribute to effectively monitoring this pathogen before it reaches the consumer. We report a microfiltration-based protocol for accelerated sample preparation to concentrate and recover ≤1 colony forming unit (CFU) Salmonella/g pathogen-free spinach. Store-bought samples of spinach and a spinach plant subjected to two environmental conditions (temperature and light exposure) during its production were tested. The overall procedure involves extraction with buffer, a short enrichment step, prefiltration using a nylon filter, crossflow hollow fiber microfiltration, and retentate centrifugation to bring microbial cells to detection levels. Based on 1 CFU Salmonella/g frozen spinach, and a Poisson distribution statistical analyses with 99% probability, we calculated that 3 hr of incubation, when followed by microfiltration, is sufficient to reach the 2 log concentration required for Salmonella detection within 7 hr. Longer enrichment times (5 hr or more) is needed for concentrations lower than 1 CFU Salmonella/g of ready to eat spinach. The recovered microbial cells were identified and confirmed as Salmonella using both polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and plating methods. Different environmental conditions tested during production did not affect Salmonella viability; this demonstrated the broad adaptability of Salmonella and emphasized the need for methods that enable efficient monitoring of production for the presence of this pathogen. 相似文献

Ten juvenile alligators, mean body mass 793 g, hatched from artificially incubated eggs and raised under controlled conditions, were held out of water with their jaws held closed for 48 hr. An initial blood sample was taken and further samples collected at 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, and 48 hr. Epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine were measured in plasma aliquots of 1.5 ml using high pressure liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. Corticosterone was measured by radioimmunoassay. Plasma glucose was measured using the Trinder method and plasma calcium, cholesterol, and triglycerides were measured in an autoanalyzer. Epinephrine was about 4 ng/ml at the initial bleed, but declined steadily to < 0.4 ng/ml by 24 hr. Norepinephrine was also about 4 ng/ml at the initial bleed, but rose to over 8 ng/ml at 1 hr, and then declined to < 0.2 ng/ml at 24 hr. A second, but smaller increase in plasma norepinephrine was seen at 48 hr. Plasma dopamine was low at the initial bleed (< 0.7 ng/ml), rose to over 8 ng/ml at 1 hr, then declined to < 0.2 ng/ml. Plasma corticosterone rose progressively for the first 4 hr, declined at 8 hr and 24 hr, then rose again at 48 hr. Plasma glucose rose significantly by 24 hr and remained elevated for 48 hr. Plasma calcium increased at 1, 2, and 4 hr then returned to levels not significantly different from the initial sample at 24 and 48 hr. The white blood cells showed changes indicating immune system suppression. By the end of the treatment the hetorophil/lymphocyte ratio increased to 4.7. These results suggest that handling alligators, taking multiple blood samples, and keeping them restrained for more than 8 hr is a severe stress to the animals. 相似文献
