The iap gene encodes the protein p60, which is common to all Listeria species. A previous comparison of the DNA sequences indicated conserved and species-specific gene portions. Based on these comparisons, a combination consisting of only five different primers that allows the specific detection and differentiation of Listeria species with a single multiplex PCR and subsequent gel analysis was selected. One primer was derived from the conserved 3' end and is specific for all Listeria species; the other four primers are specific for Listeria monocytogenes, L. innocua, L. grayi, or the three grouped species L. ivanovii, L. seeligeri, and L. welshimeri, respectively. The PCR method, which also enables the simultaneous detection of L. monocytogenes and L. innocua, was evaluated against conventional biotyping with 200 food hygiene-relevant Listeria strains. The results indicated the superiority of this technique. Thus, this novel type of multiplex PCR may be useful for rapid Listeria species confirmation and for identification of Listeria species for strains isolated from different sources. 相似文献

R.R. BEUMER, M.C. TE GIFFEL, M.T.C. KOK AND F.M. ROMBOUTS. 1996. All confirmation and identification methods used in this study can be used for the screening of suspected colonies on isolation media for Listeria spp. In traditional enrichment procedures the Microscreen Listeria latex test gives fast results. The DNA probes (Accuprobe and Gene-Trak) are very specific in detecting Listeria monocytogenes . For identification of Listeria spp. both tests (API and Micro-ID) performed equally well. Preference may be given to the API test, since differentiation of L. monocytogenes from L. innocua is based on the absence of arylamidase, through which tests for haemolytic activity and/or CAMP reactions can be omitted. However, the use of Enhanced Haemolysis Agar as isolation medium makes further testing essentially superfluous, since L. monocytogenes strains can be differentiated from L. innocua . 相似文献

A new molecular approach for the detection and identification of Listeria spp. and Listeria monocytogenes in food is presented here. The method is based on the PCR amplification of a fragment of the iap gene from the five species belonging to the genus and on the analysis of the PCR products obtained by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). The protocol was first optimized by using strains from international collections. Based on the differences present in the sequences amplified, it was possible to obtain species-specific DGGE migration that allowed fast and easy identification of L. monocytogenes, L. innocua, L. welshimeri, L. seeligeri, and L. ivanovii. Moreover, for L. monocytogenes serotypes, partial differentiation was possible. The optimized protocol was used for identification of Listeria strains traditionally isolated from food and for direct detection and identification of Listeria members in food after an overnight enrichment. Identification of 48 food isolates and direct detection of Listeria spp. in 73 food samples show the potential of the method that can be used as a fast screening test to investigate the presence of Listeria spp. and L. monocytogenes in food. 相似文献

The overall incidence of Listeria spp. in raw milk samples surveyed was found to be 25.0% (Listeria monocytogenes 15.3%), with the incidence in samples from processing centres 54.0% (L. monocytogenes 33.3%); this was higher than that in samples from dairy farms (Listeria spp. 8.8%; L. monocytogenes 5.3%). The FDA enrichment procedure was much more productive than cold enrichment and Oxford agar was superior to modified McBride agar for isolation of Listeria. Listeria monocytogenes was never isolated by direct plating of raw milk samples on Oxford agar at a detection level of 1.0 cfu/ml. Listeria spp. were isolated from 1 of 95 pasteurized milk samples (L. monocytogenes) and 1 of 33 soft cheese samples (L. seeligeri). Restriction fragment length polymorphism was more useful than sero- or phage-typing for typing of L. monocytogenes strains, and results suggest that specific L. monocytogenes strains may persist in both farm and processing environments. 相似文献

Differentiation of the species within the genus Listeria is important for the food industry but only a few reliable methods are available so far. While a number of studies have used Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to identify bacteria, the extraction of complex pattern information from the infrared spectra remains difficult. Here, we apply artificial neural network technology (ANN), which is an advanced multivariate data-processing method of pattern analysis, to identify Listeria infrared spectra at the species level. A hierarchical classification system based on ANN analysis for Listeria FTIR spectra was created, based on a comprehensive reference spectral database including 243 well-defined reference strains of Listeria monocytogenes, L. innocua, L. ivanovii, L. seeligeri, and L. welshimeri. In parallel, a univariate FTIR identification model was developed. To evaluate the potentials of these models, a set of 277 isolates of diverse geographical origins, but not included in the reference database, were assembled and used as an independent external validation for species discrimination. Univariate FTIR analysis allowed the correct identification of 85.2% of all strains and of 93% of the L. monocytogenes strains. ANN-based analysis enhanced differentiation success to 96% for all Listeria species, including a success rate of 99.2% for correct L. monocytogenes identification. The identity of the 277-strain test set was also determined with the standard phenotypical API Listeria system. This kit was able to identify 88% of the test isolates and 93% of L. monocytogenes strains. These results demonstrate the high reliability and strong potential of ANN-based FTIR spectrum analysis for identification of the five Listeria species under investigation. Starting from a pure culture, this technique allows the cost-efficient and rapid identification of Listeria species within 25 h and is suitable for use in a routine food microbiological laboratory. 相似文献

Occurrence of Listeria species in raw milk and dairy products produced in Northern Ireland 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
J. HARVEY AND A. GILMOUR. 1992.

The iap gene of Listeria species encodes protein p60. The comparison of iap-related genes from different Listeria species indicated common and variable regions within these genes which appeared to be specific for each Listeria species. On the basis of the iap gene sequences, pairs of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers which allowed the unambiguous identification of all members of the genus Listeria, of groups of related Listeria species, and of L. monocytogenes, exclusively, were selected. The PCR primers specific for L. monocytogenes yielded PCR products which represented essentially the repeat region of the iap gene. The size of these PCR products allowed an estimate of the number of the TN repeat units within the repeat region of the p60 protein of an L. monocytogenes strain. The data indicated that the number of repeat units differed among L. monocytogenes isolates. 相似文献

Rapid detection of Listeria monocytogenes by PCR-ELISA 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
A rapid detection system specific for Listeria monocytogenes based upon the polymerase chain reaction was developed. The specificity of the primers and the probe annealing to the coding region of the mpl gene proved positive with the DNA from a total of 103 L. monocytogenes strains, while DNA from another 73 Listeria and non-Listeria strains tested negative. To facilitate detection with large numbers of samples, a microtitre plate assay was established with biotinylated probes. Use of a standard DNA prevented false-negative results when used as an internal amplification control in the PCR-ELISA. As the described method required approximately 5-6 h to be completed it may prove useful in the detection of L. monocytogenes in food. 相似文献

Cultural methods used to count Listeria monocytogenes in sewage sludge are laborious and time consuming, and alternative methods are needed to reduce analysis time and improve detection limits. In this study, a survey of L. monocytogenes in sewage sludge is presented with a comparative study between a cultural method and immunomagnetic separation using a ListerScreen test followed by identification of L. monocytogenes with Rapid'L.mono agar or PCR-ELISA. These two alternative methods improved the detection of L. monocytogenes in different types of sludge, irrespective of their physical and chemical characteristics. The ListerScreen method coupled with detection of L. monocytogenes on Rapid'L.mono offers the advantage of being less sophisticated than the molecular method and allows isolation of the organism, which may be useful in epidemiological studies. However, ListerScreen coupled with PCR-ELISA proved best for high-sensitivity detection of L. monocytogenes in sewage samples. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to estimate the limit of Listeria monocytogenes cfu in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for a DNA fragment of listeriolysine O (hly A) gene. The PCR method, with used primers selected in areas of the listeriolysin O gene, allows to differentiate L. monocytogenes strains from other Listeria species. The amplified fragment (456 bp) of hly A gene was obtained for all strains L. monocytogenes and no other Listeria species. The PCR method with the selected primers allowed to detect 50-500 cfu L. monocytogenes/ml suspended in water or milk. Among 20 samples of raw milk from cows, 10 samples contained > 50 cfu L. monocytogenes/ml. Obtained results indicate that the PCR assay of L. monocytogenes identification is technically simple and may be conduct with minimal time. So, it could be recommended as quick diagnostic method in identification L. monocytogenes in milk. 相似文献

Method for flow cytometric detection of Listeria monocytogenes in milk 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
This report describes a method for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in raw milk by flow cytometric analysis of fluorescently labeled bacterial populations. The use of immunofluorescence in combination with measures of DNA content by propidium iodide labeling and size by light scattering enabled specific identification of L. monocytogenes from Streptococcus faecalis, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus uberis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Staphylococcus hyicus. Additional specific resolution of L. monocytogenes populations was achieved through selective enrichment of raw milk in Listeria enrichment broth. These procedures should permit the rapid screening of milk and other food samples for L. monocytogenes and eliminate many of the short-comings associated with conventional fluorescent-antibody procedures. 相似文献

An improved amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) protocol for discrimination of Listeria isolates 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Nine restriction enzyme combinations and 108 different primer combinations were initially tested for suitability for amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis of Listeria monocytogenes; the combination of HindIII and HpyCH4IV showed consistently strong signals on gels, amplified an adequate number of DNA fragments and detected polymorphism among closely related strains based on AscI macrorestriction profiles. AFLP also distinguished between L. monocytogenes, L. innocua, L. ivanovii, L. seeligeri, L. welshimeri and L. grayi species. All Listeria species showed species-specific clusters, with less than 33% similarity between different species. A total of 34 L. monocytogenes strains were characterised by using both AFLP and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The results of AFLP analysis of L. monocytogenes strains were in concordance with those obtained by PFGE. Both methods identified 29 different genotypes of L. monocytogenes and had a high discrimination index (> 0.999). By combining the results of AFLP and PFGE, subtype discrimination was further improved. Numerical analysis of both AFLP and PFGE profiles yielded three genomic groups of L. monocytogenes strains. AFLP was found to be faster and less labour-intensive than PFGE. We conclude that the AFLP protocol is a highly discriminatory, reproducible and valuable tool in characterisation of Listeria strains and may also be suitable for Listeria species identification. 相似文献

SDS extracts of whole bacteria, representing five species and 15 serovars of Listeria, were analysed by SDS-PAGE and by immunoblotting with serum directed against whole formalin-treated L. monocytogenes. Profiles of L. monocytogenes were very different from those of other species of Listeria (i.e. L. innocua,L.welshimeri, L. seeligeri and L. ivanovii). This low degree of similarity between species was found even in the case of common serovars. Within the species L. monocytogenes, protein patterns were characterized, on the one hand, by a high degree of homogeneity between all strains of the same serovar and, on the other hand, by large differences between serovars, especially between sv. 1/2 and 4b. Thus we have identified major, surface-located protein antigens, specific for L. monocytogenes, either common to all serovars (64 and 68 kDa) or characteristic of certain serovars: 98 kDa for sv. 1/2 and 3; 76 and 78 kDa for sv. 4b, 4d and 4e; and 80 and 100 kDa for sv. 4a and 4c. Moreover, some of these bands (68 and 98 kDa) might be related to virulence, since differences were noticed between the profiles of haemolytic L. monocytogenes vs. 1/2a differing only in their virulence for immunocompromised mice. All these results confirmed, for the first time, the classification of Listeria obtained previously by genomic studies. They should help in the identification of new virulence factors and the development of easier and more specific methods of detection and identification. 相似文献

AIMS: The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of chromogenic agars, Agar Listeria according to Ottaviani and Agosti (ALOA) and Rapid L. mono agar, compared with Oxford agar for the enumeration and detection of Listeria species in food. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 170 food samples were examined using the three plating media. Listeria species were isolated from 63 samples. In contrast to Oxford agar, detection of Listeria colonies on chromogenic media was as good after 24 h of incubation of plates as after 48 h. While there was no significant difference in recovery of Listeria monocytogenes on the three media, recovery of other Listeria species was significantly poorer on Rapid L. mono agar compared with Oxford and ALOA agars. Recovery of species other than L. monocytogenes was significantly improved by including a secondary enrichment stage in the detection method. CONCLUSIONS: Using chromogenic agars, presumptive identification of L. monocytogenes is possible after 24 h, compared with 3-4 days using Oxford agar. However, the poor detection of species other than L. monocytogenes on Rapid L. mono agar is a disadvantage of this medium. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This study provides new information regarding the isolation of Listeria species other than L. monocytogenes from food using chromogenic plating media. This is important, as non-pathogenic Listeria species act as markers for the likelihood of presence of L. monocytogenes and allow preventive action to be taken to avoid its presence. 相似文献

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
