As part of a European research project, the performance of a PCR assay to detect food-borne thermotolerant campylobacters (Campylobacter jejuni, C. coli, and C. lari) was evaluated through an international collaborative trial involving 12 participating laboratories. DNA from 10 target and 8 nontarget strains was tested, and the results were reported as the presence of a positive signal after gel electrophoresis. The overall inclusivity (sensitivity) was 93.7%, and the exclusivity (specificity) was 100%. The results indicate that the assay can become an international standard and can be confidently applied in microbiological laboratories.
作为一项欧洲研究项目的一部分,通过一项有12个参与实验室的国际合作试验,对一种用于检测食源耐热弯曲杆菌(空肠弯曲杆菌、大肠弯曲杆菌和海鸥弯曲杆菌)的聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测方法的性能进行了评估。对来自10种目标菌株和8种非目标菌株的DNA进行了检测,结果以凝胶电泳后阳性信号的存在情况进行报告。总体涵盖率(灵敏度)为93.7%,排他率(特异性)为100%。结果表明,该检测方法可成为国际标准,并可放心地应用于微生物实验室。
