Abstract: | Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts were recovered by immunomagnetic separation from six artificially contaminated foods. Two DNA isolation methods were subsequently evaluated by PCR. The FTA Concentrator-PS filter provided rapid and reproducible detection, although variability increased at lower inoculum levels (88% and 15% detection in high- and low-inoculum-level samples, respectively). Total DNA extraction generated consistent results at all oocyst levels but resulted in longer analysis time (100% and 59% detection in high- and low-inoculum-level samples, respectively). Also reflected in this study was that the matrix played an important role in the ability to recover oocysts, as sample turbidity, pH, and PCR inhibitors all influenced detection. |
