CONCLUSIONS: PCR reactions containing one cell yielded a DPCR product. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This should provide an improved method to assess contamination of environmental and other samples by STEC and other pathogens.     

Development of a combined immunochromatographic lateral flow assay for accurate and rapid Escherichia coli O157:H7 detection

Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an important pathogenic Bacterium that threatens human health. A convenient, sensitive and specific method for the E. coli O157:H7 detection is necessary. We developed two pairs of monoclonal antibodies through traditional hybridoma technology, one specifically against E. coli O157 antigen and the other specifically against E. coli H7 antigen. Using these two pairs of antibodies, we developed two rapid test kits to specifically detect E. coli O157 antigen and E. coli H7 antigen, respectively. The detection sensitivity for O157 positive E. coli is 1 × 10³ CFU per ml and for H7 positive E. coli is 1 × 10⁴ CFU per ml. Combining these two pairs of antibodies together, we developed a combo test strip that can specifically detect O157: H7, with a detection sensitivity of 1 × 10⁴ CFU per ml, when two detection lines are visible to the naked eye. This is currently the only rapid detection reagent that specifically detects O157: H7 by simultaneously detecting O157 antigen and H7 antigens of E. coli. Our product has advantages of simplicity and precision, and can be a very useful on-site inspection tool for accurate and rapid detection of E. coli O157:H7 infection.     

Evaluation of a PCR detection method for Escherichia coli O157:H7/H- bovine faecal samples

AIMS: Combinations of PCR primer sets were evaluated to establish a multiplex PCR method to specifically detect Escherichia coli O157:H7 genes in bovine faecal samples. METHODS AND RESULTS: A multiplex PCR method combining three primer sets for the E. coli O157:H7 genes rfbE, uidA and E. coli H7 fliC was developed and tested for sensitivity and specificity with pure cultures of 27 E. coli serotype O157 strains, 88 non-O157 E. coli strains, predominantly bovine in origin and five bacterial strains other than E. coli. The PCR method was very specific in the detection of E. coli O157:H7 and O157:H- strains, and the detection limit in seeded bovine faecal samples was <10 CFU g(-1) faeces, following an 18-h enrichment at 37 degrees C, and could be performed using crude DNA extracts as template. CONCLUSIONS: A new multiplex PCR method was developed to detect E. coli O157:H7 and O157:H-, and was shown to be highly specific and sensitive for these strains both in pure culture and in crude DNA extracts prepared from inoculated bovine faecal samples. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This new multiplex PCR method is suitable for the rapid detection of E. coli O157:H7 and O157:H- genes in ruminant faecal samples.     

Clonal turnover of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 in experimentally infected cattle

A total of 401 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 isolates from two experimentally infected calves were analyzed using molecular biological methods. Genetic differences detected by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis were observed between the inoculated and recovered strains as early as 1 day post inoculation. The loss of the inoculated clone was observed in one calf. Replication and dissemination of the EHEC O157:H7 strains that mutated in cattle may result in the diversification of this organism among cattle populations.

Escherichia coli O157:H7 colonization in small domestic ruminants

Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 was first implicated in human disease in the early 1980s, with ruminants cited as the primary reservoirs. Preliminary studies indicated cattle to be the sole source of E. coli O157:H7 outbreaks in humans; however, further epidemiological studies soon demonstrated that E. coli O157:H7 was widespread in other food sources and that a number of transmission routes existed. More recently, small domestic ruminants (sheep and goats) have emerged as important sources of E. coli O157:H7 human infection, particularly with the widespread popularity of petting farms and the increased use of sheep and goat food products, including unpasteurized cheeses. Although the colonization and persistence characteristics of E. coli O157:H7 in the bovine host have been studied intensively, this is not the case for small ruminants. Despite many similarities to the bovine host, the pathobiology of E. coli O157:H7 in small domestic ruminants does appear to differ significantly from that described in cattle. This review aims to critically review the current knowledge regarding colonization and persistence of E. coli O157:H7 in small domestic ruminants, including comparisons with the bovine host where appropriate.     

Real-time PCR for the detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in dairy and cattle wastewater

AIMS: Developing and evaluating a rapid real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method for the identification of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in cattle and dairy wastewater samples produced from mozzarella cheese factories, without pre-enrichment step before DNA extraction. METHODS AND RESULTS: Wastewater samples were collected from a dairy farm producing mozzarella cheese and located in Puglia (south of Italy). Plate count and other microbial assays were performed 1 h after sampling. Wastewater samples were artificially inoculated with 10(4), 10(7) and 10(8) cells ml(-1) of E. coli O157:H7, strain EDL933. PCR protocols for stx1, stx2 and eae genes were first tested on pure DNA extracted from type strains, in order to optimize the amplification conditions and reagent concentration before real-time PCR experiments. Three specific fragments of ca 106, 150 and 200 bp corresponding to genes eae, stx1 and stx2, respectively, were obtained. Real-time PCR experiments were performed with DNA extracted from dairy and manure wastewater samples inoculated with 10(4), 10(7) and 10(8) colony-forming units (CFU) ml(-1) of E. coli O157:H7 strain EDL 933. The sensitivity limit of the assay was 10(-1) pg microl(-1) for eae, stx2 and 16SrRNA, and 1 pg microl(-1) for stx1 gene respectively. CONCLUSIONS: A real-time PCR protocol has been developed and used in order to identify potential pathogens in dairy wastewater, in which previous methods (including standard PCR) failed to work. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Cattle and dairy wastewater samples produced from mozzarella cheese factories may harbour verocytotoxin-producing E. coli. The availability of rapid and sensitive molecular methods may be useful to monitor the persistence of verocytotoxin-producing E. coli in general and to assess the effectiveness of wastewater treatments.
