Cronobacter species (Cronobacter spp.) are hazardous foodborne pathogens associated with baby food, powdered infant formula (PIF). To develop a rapid and sensitive method for simultaneous detection of seven Cronobacter spp. in PIF, an indirect non-competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (INC-ELISA) was developed based on a novel immunoglobulin G (IgG), anti-Cronobacter IgG. The developed INC-ELISA was able to detect seven Cronobacter spp. at concentrations ranging from (5.6 ± 0.30) × 10(3) to (2.1 ± 0.01) × 10(5) colony forming unit (CFU)/mL in pure culture. Further, INC-ELISA employing anti-Cronobacter IgG was applicable for analysis of PIF samples contaminated with less than <10 cells of Cronobacter spp. per 25 g of PIF in 36 h. The developed antibody showed slight cross-reactivity with Franconibacter pulveris (LMG 24057) at high concentration (10(8) CFU/mL). The INC-ELISA method displayed excellent specificity without compromising cross-reactivity with other foodborne pathogens. The INC-ELISA assay method developed in this study using a novel anti-Cronobacter IgG facilitated highly sensitive, efficient, and rapid detection of Cronobacter spp. in baby food.
阪崎肠杆菌属(阪崎肠杆菌)是与婴儿食品、婴儿配方奶粉相关的危险食源性病原体。为开发一种快速灵敏的方法用于同时检测婴儿配方奶粉中的7种阪崎肠杆菌,基于一种新型免疫球蛋白G(IgG)、抗阪崎肠杆菌IgG,开发了一种间接非竞争性酶联免疫吸附测定法(INC-ELISA)。所开发的INC-ELISA能够检测纯培养物中浓度范围为(5.6±0.30)×10³至(2.1±0.01)×10⁵菌落形成单位(CFU)/mL的7种阪崎肠杆菌。此外,采用抗阪崎肠杆菌IgG的INC-ELISA适用于分析每25 g婴儿配方奶粉中污染少于10个阪崎肠杆菌细胞的婴儿配方奶粉样品,检测时间为36小时。所开发的抗体在高浓度(10⁸CFU/mL)下与粉状弗朗科尼氏菌(LMG 24057)表现出轻微交叉反应。INC-ELISA方法显示出优异的特异性,且不影响与其他食源性病原体的交叉反应性。本研究中使用新型抗阪崎肠杆菌IgG开发的INC-ELISA测定方法有助于对婴儿食品中的阪崎肠杆菌进行高度灵敏、高效且快速的检测。
