A kinetic 5'-nuclease polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) for the quantification of Escherichia coli was developed.
Specific primers and a fluorogenic probe oriented to sfmD gene, encoding a putative outer membrane export usher protein, were designed. The PCR system was highly specific and sensitive for E. coli, as determined with 37 non-E. coli strains (exclusivity, 100%) and 24 E. coli strains (inclusivity, 100%). When used in real-time PCR, linear calibration lines were obtained in the range from 10(2) to 10(8) CFU ml(-1) for three E. coli strains. Salmonella Enteritidis (10(6) CFU ml(-1)) or Citrobacter freundii (10(6) CFU ml(1)) had no effect on quantification of E. coli by the method.
The developed real-time PCR is suitable for rapid quantification of E. coli.
In connection to an appropriate sample preparation technique, the method is suitable for food safety and technological hygiene applications.
开发一种用于定量检测大肠杆菌的动力学5'-核酸酶聚合酶链反应(实时荧光定量PCR)。
设计了针对编码假定外膜输出引导蛋白的sfmD基因的特异性引物和荧光探针。用37株非大肠杆菌菌株(特异性为100%)和24株大肠杆菌菌株(包容性为100%)检测,该PCR系统对大肠杆菌具有高度的特异性和敏感性。在实时荧光定量PCR中,对三株大肠杆菌菌株在10²至10⁸CFU ml⁻¹范围内获得了线性校准曲线。肠炎沙门氏菌(10⁶CFU ml⁻¹)或弗氏柠檬酸杆菌(10⁶CFU ml⁻¹)对该方法定量检测大肠杆菌没有影响。
所开发的实时荧光定量PCR适用于快速定量检测大肠杆菌。
结合适当的样品制备技术,该方法适用于食品安全和工艺卫生应用。
