We report a duplex real-time PCR-based assay for the simultaneous quantitative detection of Listeria spp. and the food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. The targets of this single tube reaction were the 23S rDNA and hly genes of Listeria spp. and L. monocytogenes, respectively. Our assay was efficient, 100% selective (i.e., it allowed accurate simultaneous identification of 52 L. monocytogenes and 120 Listeria spp. strains through the FAM-labelled hly and the VIC-labelled 23S rDNA probes, respectively); and had a detection limit of one target molecule in 100% (23S rDNA) and 56% (hly) of the reactions. Simultaneous quantification was possible along a 5-log dynamic range, with an upper limit of 30 target molecules and R2 values > 0.995 in both cases. Our results indicate that this assay based on the amplification of the 23S rDNA gene can accurately quantify any mixture of Listeria species and simultaneously unambiguously quantify L. monocytogenes. 相似文献

Many bacterial pathogens utilize specialized secretion systems to deliver virulence factors into the extracellular milieu. These exported effectors act to manipulate various processes of targeted cells in order to create a suitable niche for bacterial growth. Currently, seven different types of secretion system have been described, of which Type I - VI are mainly present in Gram-negative bacteria and the newly discovered Type VII system seems exclusive to Gram-positive species. This review summaries our current understanding on the architecture and transport mechanisms of each secretion apparatus. We also discuss recent studies revealing the roles that these secretion systems and their substrates play in microbial pathogenesis. 相似文献

AIMS: The aim of this study was to compare the real-time iQ-Check Salmonella kit (Bio-Rad) with the immunocapture assay RapidCheck Salmonella method, and a conventional culture method (FSIS, USDA) in detecting Salmonella in naturally contaminated turkey meat products. This study was also designed to determine if a selective enrichment step might improve the real-time detection of Salmonella. METHODS AND RESULTS: Using the culture method, Salmonella was recovered from 49 out of 99 retail turkey meat samples collected. RapidCheck failed to detect 11 Salmonella samples that were positive by the culture method. The iQ-Check real-time PCR also failed to detect three samples that were positive by the culture method. However, when carried out after a selective enrichment step, the iQ-Check real-time PCR detected all 49 Salmonella samples recovered by the culture method. The iQ-Check real-time PCR detected the presence of Salmonella in some samples that were not recovered by the culture method. CONCLUSIONS: Adding a selective enrichment step to the iQ-Check real-time PCR improves the detection of Salmonella in naturally contaminated turkey meat samples. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The iQ-Check Salmonella real-time PCR can be used as a rapid method to monitor Salmonella in turkey meat, together with conventional culture methodology. 相似文献

Development of specific and rapid detection of bacterial pathogens in dairy products by PCR 总被引:1,自引:2,他引:1
A simple and specific method for direct detection of bovine mastitis pathogens (Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS), Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) in milk products, bacterial samples from milk and isolated bacterial DNA was developed. The method is based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using sequence-specific primers only for GBS and species-specific primers derived from 16S and 23S rRNA for all chosen species. The presence of the gene of surface immunogenic protein (Sip) in bovine GBS isolates, described previously only in human GBS isolates was confirmed. The GBS detection was performed with the sequence coding for surface immunogenic protein from GBS human isolates designated as Sip specific sequence (SSS); this sequence was selected for specific primer design. The sequence is unique for GBS and was designed from a consensus of all known sip genes. The specific identification was shown on a collection of 75 GBS bovine isolates from different localities in Slovakia. All isolates were positive to SSS, 16S and 23S rRNA sequence. The 16S and 23S rRNA PCR detection was also performed with S. aureus and E. coli isolates and specific PCR products were also detected. The detection limit of this assay for milk products was 6 CFU/microL (i.e. 6000 CFU/mL) for GBS and E. coli, and 16 CFU/microL for S. aureus. This rapid, sensitive and specific diagnostic method can be performed within hours and represents an innovative diagnostic tool for the detection of milk pathogens in dairy products. 相似文献

AIMS: To examine the prevalence and diversity of bacterial faecal pathogens in unseparated slurry, separated solids and liquid fractions from a commercial pig farm. METHODS: A total of 43 stored slurry specimens originating from a fattening house over the period February-April 2002 were analysed, consisting of unseparated (n = 14) slurry, separated solids (n = 16) and separated liquid (n = 13). Specimens were examined for the presence of five bacterial pathogens including Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Campylobacter spp., Escherichia coli O157 and Yersinia enterocolitica. Selective enrichment and plating methods were employed for detection of Salmonella spp. and Campylobacter spp. and conventional selective plating techniques for the remaining genera. Antibiogram profiles to 12 antibiotic agents were obtained for all Salmonella isolates obtained. RESULTS: Salmonella spp. were identified in all components of the slurry specimens, whereas Campylobacter spp. was only recovered from the unseparated and separated liquid fractions. In both cases, the separated liquid fraction had the highest prevalence of pathogens and the separated solid fraction had the lowest prevalence. None of the slurry specimens examined were positive for E. coli O157:H7, Shigella spp. or Y. enterocolitica. Twenty-nine isolates of Salmonella were recovered from the slurry specimens, comprising seven serovars, of which Salmonella manhattan was the most prevalent, accounting for over half [15 of 29 (51.7%)] of all Salmonella isolates. Salmonella anatum, Salm. derby, Salm. give, Salm. heidelberg, Salm. simi and Salm. stanley serovars were also recovered. All Salmonella isolates were sensitive to ampicillin, augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid), chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, kanamycin and trimethoprim, but has variable resistance to tetracycline (100%), sulphonamides (84.6%), furazolidone (38.5%), nalidixic acid (15.4%) and streptomycin (15.4%). The majority (57.7%) of isolates displayed antibiotic resistance to at least two antibiotic agents, followed by 34.6% of isolates being resistant to three agents and the remainder (7.7%) being resistant to four antibiotics. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This study demonstrated a marked reduction in the prevalence of Campylobacter and Salmonella in the solids component of separated pig slurry. The adoption of control processes such as aeration of slurry prior to its spread onto agricultural land and newer approaches to pathogen reduction should be investigated, to reduce the transmission of pathogens from pig slurry to the environment. 相似文献

The incidence of foodborne infectious diseases is stable or has even increased in many countries. Consequently, our awareness
regarding hygiene measures in food production has also increased dramatically over the last decades. However, even today’s
modern production techniques and intensive food-monitoring programs have not been able to effectively control the problem.
At the same time, increased production volumes are distributed to more consumers, and if contaminated, potentially cause mass
epidemics. Accordingly, research directed to improve food safety has also been taken forward, also exploring novel methods
and technologies. Such an approach is represented by the use of bacteriophage for specific killing of unwanted bacteria. The
extreme specificity of phages renders them ideal candidates for applications designed to increase food safety during the production
process. Phages are the natural enemies of bacteria, and can be used for biocontrol of bacteria without interfering with the
natural microflora or the cultures in fermented products. Moreover, phages or phage-derived proteins can also be used to detect
the presence of unwanted pathogens in food or the production environments, which allows quick and specific identification
of viable cells. This review intends to briefly summarize and explain the principles and current standing of these approaches. 相似文献

Assessment of the presence of Salmonella spp. in Egyptian dairy products using various detection media 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
AIMS: To make a preliminary assessment of the incidence of Salmonella in Egyptian dairy products, and to investigate the effectiveness of various protocols for the detection of the pathogen in these products. METHODS AND RESULTS: Samples of milk and related dairy products were randomly collected from local markets and examined for the presence of Salmonella. While most samples were free of the organism, isolates of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium PT 8 could be recovered from 'matared' cream specimens. These isolates were susceptible to antibiotics usually used to challenge infections caused by Salmonella. A combination of buffered peptone water, Muller-Kauffman tetrathionate broth, and brilliant green phenol red agar gave the best results for the detection of the pathogen. Selenite-cystine broth and Hektoen enteric agar were ineffective as an enrichment and a plating medium, respectively, in the isolation of Salmonella. A modified identification strategy that reduces the burden of serological testing of presumptive isolates is proposed. CONCLUSIONS, SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: 'Matared' cream could be a vehicle for transmitting Salmonella. Using the above combination of media, beside the suggested modified confirmatory procedure, should increase the effectiveness and ease of the detection of Salmonella in milk and dairy products. 相似文献

Abstract A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based test was developed for the detection of Salmonella . One pair of oligonucleotide primers was designed to amplify a 93-bp fragment of a gene required for the invasion of HeLa cells by Salmonella ser Typhi strain Ty2. The amplified product was analysed by non-radioactive sandwich hybridisation in microtiter plates using two oligonucleotides. The capture oligonucleotide was covalently linked onto aminated wells of microtiter plates. The detection oligonucleotide was labelled with biotine. The hybrid molecules were detected by avidine conjugated with alkaline phosphatase and chromogenic substrate. The described combination of microplate sandwich hybridisation and PCR seems to be a suitable method for rapid detection of Salmonella subspecies I. It only requires a thermal cycler and a conventional microtiter reader, and can be readily done on a large scale. 相似文献

AIMS: To determine the prevalence of four bacterial zoonotic pathogens in beef cattle at time of slaughter in Northern Ireland (NI), in order to assess their potential for reducing beef safety. METHODS AND RESULTS: Faeces were collected postmortem from beef cattle (n =220) at seven EU registered abattoirs. Standard enrichment culturing methods were employed, plus immunomagnetic enrichment in the case of Escherichia coli O157:H7. Campylobacter spp. were found in 52 samples (24.8%), Listeria monocytogenes in 10 (4.8%), E. coli O157:H7 in 2 (0.9%) whilst Salmonella spp. were isolated from six out of 200 samples (3.0%). Five salmonellas were Salmonella Chandans and one was Salmonella Liverpool. CONCLUSIONS: Campylobacter spp. were the most frequently isolated pathogen, despite being relatively rare in beef. Genotyping showed the campylobacters to be very diverse, indicating cattle encounter campylobacters from many sources. The remaining three pathogens, which are associated with meats, occurred at relatively low frequencies, especially E. coli O157:H7. The Salmonella serovars found rarely infect humans. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The low prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 in NI beef cattle was confirmed and the reasons for this merit further study. The four pathogens should have little impact on beef quality. 相似文献

A novel real-time PCR-based method for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in food 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
AIMS: A new real-time PCR-based method was developed for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in food. METHODS AND RESULTS: A two-step enrichment involving a 24-h incubation in half-Fraser broth followed by a 6-h subculture in Fraser broth was used, followed by cell lysis and real-time PCR with primers and a TaqMan probe previously developed in our laboratory. When the method was evaluated with 144 naturally contaminated food samples, 44 were detected as positive by the PCR-based method and 42 by the standard method EN ISO 11290-1. With 61 food samples artificially contaminated at a level of 10(0) CFU per 25 g, 61 and 58 positive samples were detected by the respective methods. CONCLUSIONS: The developed real-time PCR-based method facilitated the detection of L. monocytogenes in food on the next day after the sample reception, with a reduction of false-positive results because of dead bacterial cells and false-negative results because of PCR inhibitors. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The method can be used for L. monocytogenes detection in food as a faster alternative to current methods. 相似文献

Survival of bacterial pathogens during the thermophilic anaerobic digestion of biowaste: laboratory experiments and in situ validation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Anaerobic digestion is continually gaining importance for the processing of the organic fraction of municipal solid wastes. Although methods for studying the survival of pathogen exist, these methods often need adaptations, are expensive, time consuming or generally not well suited for the harsh conditions within an anaerobic digestion system. In the present study we investigated the applicability of commercially available, mechanically stable and inexpensive pathogen carriers to validate in situ pathogen inhibition within a 750,000l thermophilic, bio-waste treating anaerobic digester. None of the pathogens investigated (Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli, and Campylobacter jejuni) was capable of survival under the conditions of the biogas reactor for more than 24 h indicating that the temperature and physico-chemical properties of the sludge of the fermenter were effective in inhibiting the survival of these microorganisms. 相似文献

The study describes a rapid approach for detection of common enteric bacterial pathogens, which involves partial amplification of the 16S rRNA gene by PCR using a colony from selective medium followed by restriction enzyme (RE) digestion using the EcoRI, HindIII and SalI enzymes. On the basis of RE digestion analysis different genera namely, Escherichia, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio, Campylobacter, Arcobacter, Yesinia and Listeria were differentiated. 相似文献
