To develop a 24-h system for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in ham.
An immunomagnetic separation (IMS) of bacteria directly from ham followed by extraction of DNA and detection using a new multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used. The PCR method used one primer pair targeted at the listeriolysin O gene of L. monocytogenes and the other pair for a region of the 23S rRNA genes of Listeria, giving products of 706 and 239 bp, respectively. The combined IMS/PCR was calculated to be capable of detecting as few as 1.1 L. monocytogenes cells g-1 in a 25-g ham sample.
The process produced acceptable results, but the IMS step is the main barrier to further improvement of sensitivity. The DNA isolation was the most time-consuming step in the process.
A 24-h test for the presence of L. monocytogenes will be useful to the food industry and significantly assist in the timely investigation of outbreaks.
开发一种用于检测火腿中单核细胞增生李斯特菌的24小时检测系统。
采用直接从火腿中进行细菌免疫磁珠分离(IMS),随后提取DNA并使用新型多重聚合酶链反应(PCR)进行检测。该PCR方法使用一对引物靶向单核细胞增生李斯特菌的溶血素O基因,另一对引物针对李斯特菌23S rRNA基因的一个区域,分别产生706和239 bp的产物。经计算,联合IMS/PCR能够在25 g火腿样品中检测到低至1.1个单核细胞增生李斯特菌细胞/g。
该方法产生了可接受的结果,但IMS步骤是进一步提高灵敏度的主要障碍。DNA分离是该过程中最耗时的步骤。
用于检测单核细胞增生李斯特菌存在的24小时检测方法将对食品工业有用,并显著有助于及时调查疫情爆发。
