In recent years, Escherichia coli O157: H7 has emerged as a global public health concern. Among the more important virulence characteristics of this strain is its ability to produce one or more Shiga toxins (Stx). Traditional culture-based methods for assay of enteric toxins in foods and clinical samples are relatively slow and results can be ambiguous. In this work, we established a toxin-detection system based on bioluminescent enzyme immunoassay (BLEIA) using a simple and inexpensive device. The system could detect both Shiga toxin types 1 and 2 individually within 150 min with a detection limit for each toxin at 5 pg/ml. In our study of previously characterized Shigatoxigenic and all non-Shigatoxigenic E. coli and other bacterial species, we found all Shigatoxigenic strains to be positive and non-Shigatoxigenic E. coli and other bacterial species to be negative. This assay was also used to detect Stxs in milk and supernatant fluids from minced chicken and beef. For clinical stool samples we noted a tendency for the system to give unexpectedly high background level. Our results suggest the feasibility of using BLEIA methodology for the simple, rapid and sensitive detection of toxins from culture supernatant, various foods and clinical samples. 相似文献

Egg allergy is an important public health and safety concern, so quantification and administration of food or vaccines containing ovalbumin (OVA) are urgently needed. This study aimed to establish a rapid and sensitive magnetic particles–chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay (MPs–CLEIA) for the determination of OVA. The proposed method was developed on the basis of a double antibodies sandwich immunoreaction and luminol–H2O2 chemiluminescence system. The MPs served as both the solid phase and separator, the anti-OVA MPs-coated polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) were used as capturing antibody, and the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled monoclonal antibody (mAb) was taken as detecting antibody. The parameters of the method were evaluated and optimized. The established MPs–CLEIA method had a linear range from 0.31 to 100 ng/ml with a detection limit of 0.24 ng/ml. The assays showed low reactivities and less than 5% of intraassay and interassay coefficients of variation (CVs), and the average recoveries were between 92 and 97%. Furthermore, the developed method was applied in real samples analysis successfully, and the correlation coefficient with the commercially available OVA kit was 0.9976. Moreover, it was more rapid and sensitive compared with the other methods for testing OVA. 相似文献

AIMS: The application of an automated immunomagnetic separation-enzyme immunoassay (AIMS-EIA) during the investigation of a suspected outbreak of Salmonella food poisoning at a retail premises. METHODS AND RESULTS: Six food samples and 24 environmental swabs were taken from the retail premises and six food handlers' submitted faecal samples during the investigation of the outbreak. Isolation and identification of Salmonella from these samples was performed according to established standard operating procedures and by AIMS-EIA. Twelve of the 18 (67%) Salmonella culture positive samples were AIMS-EIA positive on testing pre-enrichment samples after 24 h, whilst 17 (94%) samples were AIMS-EIA positive following selective enrichment for a further 48 h. One food handler was found to be positive for Salmonella by both culture and AIMS-EIA. All Salmonella isolates were confirmed as Salmonella Enteritidis phagetype 21c. CONCLUSIONS: The AIMS-EIA protocol compliments the conventional culture approach to produce more timely results for the management of the risk to public health without significantly increasing the workload of the laboratory. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The food production premise investigated in this study was heavily contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis. Application of the AIMS-EIA was significant in the effective intervention of control measures for the protection of public health. 相似文献

Prostaglandin E2 is one of the major cyclooxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid. We developed a competitive immunosorbent assay for prostaglandin E2 utilizing a bioluminescent enzyme Cypridina luciferase. The prostaglandin E2 amount could be quantified over the concentration ranging from 7.8 to 500 pg/mL. The amount of unlabeled prostaglandin E2 required to displace 50% of the maximal binding of Cypridina luciferase‐labeled prostaglandin E2 (B/B0) was approximately 35 pg/mL. The results show a great potential of Cypridina luciferase as a new labeling enzyme for enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Utilizing the rapidity in capturing Salmonella lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the macroporous nature of poly(ethyleneimine) immobilized polyester cloth (PEI-cloth), a PEI-cloth disk set in a Swinnex cartridge joined at both ends with 10 ml plastic syringes was repeatedly passed through with an LPS sample in large volumes. The captured LPS on the disk were detected at up to 1 pg, which is equivalent to the amount produced of 16 cells, by cloth enzyme immunoassay. 相似文献

A chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) for methyltestosterone is compared with a radioimmunoassay (RIA) employing the same antiserum, raised against methyltestosterone-3-CMO-BSA and using N-(4-aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol conjugate of MT and [1,2-H3]methyltestosterone as tracers. Muscle tissue from slaughtered animals was selected as the matrix. After enzymatic digestion and diethylether extraction only a limited sample clean-up on Lipidex-5000 and on Bond Elut C18 was required. Both methods had similar limits of detection, sensitivities, limits of quantification and speed of analysis (working-load and availability of results). 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

This work explores the use of the phage P22 in a phagomagnetic immunoassay for the rapid detection of Salmonella. The covalent attachment of wild-type phages was performed on two different magnetic carriers: carboxyl-activated magnetic nanoparticles (300 nm) and tosyl-activated magnetic microparticles (2.8 μm). The bacteria were captured and preconcentrated by the phage-modified magnetic particles, followed by the detection using specific anti-Salmonella antibodies conjugated to horseradish peroxidase as an optical reporter. Outstanding selectivity and sensitivity was obtained with this approach, achieving detection limits of 19 CFU mL?1 in 2.5 h without any pre-enrichment, in milk samples. Moreover, if the samples were pre-enriched for 6 h, the method was able to detect as low as 1.4 CFU in 25 mL of milk. Therefore, the proposed strategy based on the combined use of phagomagnetic separation with immunological labeling is promising as a rapid and simple method for food safety. 相似文献

Nucleic acid sequence based amplification for the rapid and sensitive detection of Salmonella enterica from foods 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
AIMS: The purpose of this study was to apply nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA) for the detection of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) in representative foods. METHODS AND RESULTS: A previously reported primer and probe set based on mRNA sequences of the dnaK gene of Salmonella were used in this study. To test for possible food matrix inhibition and assay detection limits, 25-g samples of representative food commodities (fresh meats, poultry, fish, ready-to-eat salads and bakery products) were pre-enriched with and without S. Enteritidis inoculation. The NucliSens(R) Basic Kit, supplemented with enzymes from various other commercial sources, was used for RNA isolation, NASBA amplification and electrochemiluminescent (ECL) detection. The end point detection limit of the NASBA-ECL assay was equivalent to 101 CFU of S. Enteritidis per amplification reaction. When the assay was tested on noncontaminated foods, none of the food matrices produced false-positive results. Some of the food matrices inhibited the NASBA-ECL reaction unless the associated RNA was diluted 10-fold prior to amplification. CONCLUSIONS: For all food items tested, positive ECL signals were achieved after 18 h of pre-enrichment and subsequent NASBA at initial inoculum levels of 102 and 101 CFU per 25 g food sample. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This rapid, semi-automated detection method has potential for use in the food, agricultural and public health sectors. 相似文献

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay detected Salmonella within 60 min. The 220 strains of 39 serotypes of Salmonella subsp. enterica and 7 strains of Salmonella enterica subsp. arizonae were amplified, but not 62 strains of 23 bacterial species other than Salmonella. The sensitivity of the LAMP assay was found to be >2.2 cfu/test tube using nine serotypes. The specificity was similar to that of a PCR assay, but the sensitivity of LAMP was greater. Both fluorescence and turbidity were able to detect the products in the LAMP assay. S. enteritidis in a liquid egg sample artificially inoculated with the organism was detected by the LAMP assay at 2.8 cfu/test tube, although negative by PCR assay. These results indicate that the LAMP assay is a rapid, specific and sensitive detection method for Salmonella. 相似文献

The ability of zoos to monitor the reproductive status of their animals can vastly improve the effectiveness of husbandry/management practices, and noninvasive methods such as fecal steroid analysis are the easiest to apply in a zoo setting. Furthermore, enzyme immunoassay (EIA) is preferred to radioimmunoassay (RIA) as the method of quantifying hormones because EIAs do not involve the use, storage, and disposal of radioactive materials. However, progesterone is excreted in the feces as predominantly unconjugated metabolites (progestogens) and, until recently, antibodies able to cross‐react with a variety of progestogens were used primarily in RIAs. An EIA using a broad‐spectrum progestogen antibody is described and applied to serum and/or fecal samples from female African elephants, black rhinoceros, white rhinoceros, okapi, and hippopotami. The clear progestogen profiles generated in these species suggest that the described EIA would be as versatile as the RIA using the same antibody and could be a practical and economical alternative to RIAs for monitoring gonadal function via progestogen analysis in zoo species.

Ultrasensitive chemiluminescent immunoassay of Salmonella with silver enhancement of nanogold labels
In this paper, silver enhancement of nanogold labels coupled with chemiluminescence detection was developed for ultrasensitive immunoassay of Salmonella based upon antigen–antibody immunoreaction. Polyclonal rabbit anti‐Salmonella sp. antibodies (pAb) were employed to establish the analytical protocol. The pAb coated onto ELISA microwell plates and Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) conjugated pAb capture target Salmonella to form a sandwich‐type complex. Silver then was in situ deposited around the Au NPs core and resulted in the signal amplification. In consequence, silver was dissolved to form Ag+ and a sensitive chemiluminescence based on the Ag+–K2S2O8–Mn2+–luminol system was coupled for further signal amplification. Under the optimized conditions, the chemiluminescent intensity is proportional to target Salmonella over the range of 5–1038 cfu mL?1 with a detection limit of 5 cfu mL?1. The relative standard deviation for 11 measurements of about 50–100 cfu/mL target Salmonella is 4.7%. The proposed method was successfully applied to measure Salmonella in food samples and the results are identical to those of the offical standard method of China. These offer us a more powerful tool for ultrasensitive assay of foodborne pathogens. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Son, Ltd. 相似文献

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

Rapid screening of poultry houses for contamination is critical for Salmonella control. Use of air filter sampling has great
potential for efficient and reliable monitoring of Salmonella spp., as it could represent an entire poultry house and solve
sample-size problems. Two sampling methods (litter and air filter) were compared for detection in four chicken pens inoculated
with a S. typhimurium antibiotic resistant strain. Salmonella levels in both litter and air filter samples were determined
by PCR amplification and by conventional enrichment. Although amplified DNA was not directly detected, amplified DNA could
be detected using a dual probe hybridization sensor. The ratio of the positive samples to total samples determined by gene
amplification was much lower than that obtained by conventional enrichments (29/128 versus 102/128 samples). However, the
ratio obtained by gene amplification with air filter samples was greater than that with litter samples (26/64 versus 3/64).
These results demonstrate that the air filter sampling method is an alternative method of Salmonella detection in poultry
house using PCR gene amplification protocol. Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology (2000) 24, 379–382.

Homogeneous enzyme immunoassay of diosgenin and its glycosides 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Homogeneous enzyme immunoassay has been used as a tool for the determination of diosgenin and its glycosides in plants. Diosgenin antisera was found to inhibit the activity of diosgenin hemisuccinate-horseradish peroxidase conjugate which was reversed by the addition of free diosgenin or its glycosides. The increase of enzyme activity was proportional to the quantity of the hapten over a certain range of hapten concentration. Thus, a minimum of 2.5 micrograms/ml of diosgenin and 11.5 micrograms/ml of diosgenin glycosides could be determined by this method. The results were comparable with those obtained by high-performance liquid chromatography and gravimetric methods. 相似文献

The development of a new enzyme immunoassay for neuropeptide Y (NPY) is reported. Two monoclonal antibodies directed against distinct epitopes of NPY are used, one as a capture antibody (NPY02) and the other one as an indicator antibody (NPY05), this latter antibody being labeled with alkaline phosphatase. The assay calibration curve was performed over concentrations of 1 to 250 pM in a NPY-free plasma. The intra-assay coefficient of variation (CV) ranged from 0.025 to 11.9%, whereas the interassay CV was comprised between 5 and 12%. The limit of detection of this assay was 1 pM (100 amol/well). Neuropeptide Y levels are related to sampling conditions; basal concentrations of NPY with low SEM are found when less than 1.2 ml of blood is taken in EDTA tubes, the sample is centrifuged at 4°C, and immediately frozen. Unanesthetized spontaneously hypertensive rats exhibited higher NPY plasma concentrations than normotensive Wistar-Kyoto controls (53 ± 7 pM and 25 ± 2 pM, respectively, mean ± SEM, p < 0.01). Plasma NPY levels are similar in 16- and 36-week-old animals. In conclusion, this technique makes it possible to assay a large number of samples within 24 h without requiring radioactivity. 相似文献

The recombinant bacteria strain DPD2540, containing afabA::luxCDABE fusion, was used to detect the toxicity of various chemicals in this study. Membrane damaging agents such as phenol, ethanol,
and cerulenin induced a rapid bioluminescent response from this strain. Other toxic agents, such as DNA-damaging or oxidative-damaging
chemicals, showed a delayed bioluminescent response in which the maximum peak appeared over 150min after induction. This strain
was also tested for measurement of toxicity in field samples such as wastewater and river water effluents. 相似文献

In a previous paper, the ogdH gene that encodes 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase was isolated from Salmonella typhimurium. The catalytic N-terminal region in the enzyme was found to be very specific for the Salmonella species. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to detect S. typhimurium in food sources using primers designed for OGDH-1 and OGDH-2 which were based on the salmonella-specific region of the ogdH gene. A simple polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection method was developed to detect low numbers of S. typhimurium in a chicken meat microbial consortium. Using the ogdH-specific primers under stringent amplification conditions and for gene probe analysis, fewer than 100 colony-forming units (CFUs) were detectable when pure cultures were employed. When the PCR assay was run on S. typhimurium-contaminated meat contents, only the positive meat samples containing as few as 200 CFUs reacted to the assay. The method employed for sample processing is simple and it was determined to provide a sensitive means of detecting trace amounts of S. typhimurium-specific sequences in the presence of mixed meat microbial populations. When compared with six representative intestinal gram-negative bacterial strains in foods, including Vibrio parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus, Enterobacter cloacae, E. coli O157:H7, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Proteus sp., S. typhimurium had a unique and distinct PCR product (796 bp). In conclusion, the two OGDH primers were found to be rapid and sensitive detectors of Salmonella spp for the PCR method. 相似文献

We developed a competitive chemiluminescent (CL) enzyme immunoassay for rapid, sensitive analysis of 19‐nortestosterone (19‐NT) in bovine urine. Anti‐19‐NT polyclonal antibodies were raised in rabbits using a 19‐NT‐hemisuccinate derivative conjugated with ovalbumin; the derivative was also conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as a label. Antibodies were immobilized on 384‐well black polystyrene microtitre plates and HRP‐labelled 19‐NT activity was measured using an efficient chemiluminescent substrate (SuperSignal® ELISA Femto) after 3 min incubation. Emitted light was recorded using a conventional, photomultiplier‐tube‐based microtitre plate reader or a sensitive back‐illuminated, cooled CCD camera. The developed method fulfils all the requirements of precision (intra‐ and inter‐assay CV < 10%) and accuracy (mean recovery 94–112%), with a detection limit of 0.03 ppb (1.1 × 10?9 mol/L) in a urine matrix. Chemiluminescence enhances detectability of the HRP‐labelled tracer (thus lowering the limit of detection with respect to colorimetry) and reduces analysis time. The 384‐well microtitre plate cuts the sample/reagent volume (20 µL), a five‐fold reduction with respect to the conventional 96‐well microtitre plate. The developed method is suitable for high‐throughput screening of 19‐NT in urine samples, with reduced costs as compared with conventional colorimetric enzyme immunoassays.

An enzyme immunoassay (EIA) was developed for detecting mycobacterial antibodies in the sera of 22 Macaca fascicularis following a natural outbreak of tuberculosis. EIAs were conducted using four antigens (lysozyme, triton, or deoxycholate extracts of Mycobacterium tuberculosis or a purified protein derivative) and two conjugates (protein A or antihuman). Mycobacterial antibodies were detected in two of two culture-positive monkeys, in nine of ten tuberculin test-suspect monkeys (culture-negative), and in five of ten tuberculin test-negative monkeys (culture-negative). Results indicate EIA may be of practical value in detecting monkeys exposed to M. tuberculosis. 相似文献
