Polymerase chain reaction detection of Listeria monocytogenes on frankfurters using oligonucleotide primers targeting the genes encoding internalin AB

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay targeting the genes encoding internalin AB (inlAB) was developed for detecting Listeria monocytogenes in pure cell cultures and on artificially contaminated frankfurters. Four sets of oligonucleotide primers were evaluated. The set targeting a 902-bp region of the inlAB gene was the most specific. This PCR product was detected in 51 L. monocytogenes strains belonging to four different serogroups (1/2a, 1/2b, 1/2c, and 4b). In contrast, the PCR product was not detected in other Listeria spp. (Listeria innocua, Listeria ivanovii, Listeria seeligeri, Listeria welshimeri, or Listeria grayi) or in gram-positive, non-Listeria bacteria, indicating that the primer set was highly specific for L monocytogenes. The detection limit of the PCR assay was 10(5) CFU per ml of pure cell culture. However, the assay could detect as few as 10(1) CFU of L. monocytogenes in 25 g of frankfurter with 16 h of enrichment in modified Listeria enrichment broth at 30 degrees C. The total assay time including enrichment was approximately 24 h. These results suggest that the PCR assay can be used to rapidly detect L. monocytogenes on frankfurters and possibly other types of ready-to-eat meat products.     

Combined PCR and slot blot assay for detection of Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes

Detection of Salmonella typhimurium and Listeria monocytogenes by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay coupled with slot blot detection was investigated in this study. After being extracted from diluted bacterial culture with the extraction buffer, bacterial DNA was subjected to PCR. The slot blot assay was optimized and used to detect PCR products. The lowest detection level of this method was 10(3) cfu/ml in the original culture media for both pathogens, or 5 bacterial cells in the PCR reaction. Combined with immunomagnetic separation (IMS) to separate and concentrate bacteria from samples, the detection limit could be 40 cfu/ml of bacteria from milk samples. The whole detection procedure was completed within 7 h. After multiplex PCR (amplification of DNA from two different bacteria in the same PCR tube) and slot blot, a detection level of 10(3) cfu/ml was achieved in the simultaneous detection for both pathogens, which was similar to that of individual detection for each pathogen. The combination of PCR and slot-blot seems to be highly sensitive and time-efficient, and is therefore promising for routine use in the detection of Salmonella and L. monocytogenes in food samples such as milk.     

Real-time multiplex SYBR green I-based PCR assay for simultaneous detection of Salmonella serovars and Listeria monocytogenes

A multiplex SYBR Green I-based PCR assay has been developed for simultaneous detection of Salmonella serovars and Listeria monocytogenes using a LightCycler. Primers were designed to amplify an 85-bp sequence from the gene encoding a fimbrinlike protein (fimI) of Salmonella Enteritidis and a 98-bp sequence from the hemolysin gene (hly) of L. monocytogenes. These primers allowed the amplification of PCR products having distinct melting temperature values, resulting in the formation of two distinct peaks representing the two targets. Background signals, resulting from primer-dimer formation in the late cycles of PCR, are eliminated through the acquisition of data at a high temperature (>75 degrees C), but several degrees lower than required for detection of the specific PCR products. A rapid and simple method for the extraction of bacterial genomic DNA from liquid culture, coupled with duplex PCR using LightCycler SYBR Green-based PCR assays, detected the presence of 2.5 cells and 1 cell of Salmonella serovars and L. monocytogenes, respectively, within an hour. Following overnight enrichment, target DNA was present in sufficient quantities in 1 microl of culture to enable direct detection with the LightCycler.     

Construction and evaluation of a microbiological positive process internal control for PCR-based examination of food samples for Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica

PCR assays for food-borne pathogens are widely available but have had more limited application to food testing compared with their use in clinical laboratories. When testing food samples, false negative PCR results can occur and may be due to interference with target-cell lysis necessary for nucleic acid extraction, nucleic acid degradation and/or direct inhibition of the PCR. Therefore, it is essential to include appropriate controls for the application of PCR to the detection of pathogens in food samples. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a novel internal control (IC), capable of monitoring the complete detection procedure, from DNA extraction through to amplification and detection. A 'positive process' IC was developed for the reliable application of real-time PCR assays for the detection of Salmonella enterica or Listeria monocytogenes in enrichment broths. Two novel real-time 5' nuclease PCR assays for the detection of a 77 bp fragment of the green fluorescent protein (gfp) gene and a 91 bp fragment of the iroB gene of S. enterica were developed. These assays were specific and had detection limits of 5+/-0.88 and 15+/-1.03 CFU per PCR for the gfp and iroB genes respectively. The gfp PCR assay was combined with the iroB PCR assay, and also with a previously published real-time 5' nuclease PCR assay for the detection of the hlyA gene of L. monocytogenes. Duplexed assays were optimised such that the target genes were simultaneously amplified at similar sensitivities to single reactions. The gfp gene was cloned into the chromosome of a non-pathogenic strain of Escherichia coli and the modified strain successfully encapsulated in LENTICULE discs. A single disc was added to 1 ml of standard enrichment broths immediately prior to DNA extraction, and used as an IC for the detection of L. monocytogenes and S. enterica by PCR. This method was evaluated using 393 naturally contaminated food or environmental samples, 267 for the detection of Salmonella spp. and 126 for Listeria spp. PCR inhibition was detected in 29 (8%) extracts, although neither pathogens were detected in these broths by culture. S. enterica was detected by PCR in 43 of 45 (96%) broths that were positive by conventional culture. The iroB gene was also detected in a further 2 broths by PCR alone. L. monocytogenes was detected in 6 broths by both PCR and conventional culture, plus an additional 7 by PCR only. Control strategies such as those described here are important tools for the interpretation of PCR assays by improving the reliability of detection of pathogens in food.

Rapid real-time PCR detection of Listeria monocytogenes in enriched food samples based on the ssrA gene, a novel diagnostic target

A real-time PCR assay was designed to detect a 162-bp fragment of the ssrA gene in Listeria monocytogenes. The specificity of the assay for L. monocytogenes was confirmed against a panel of 6 Listeria species and 26 other bacterial species. A detection limit of 1-10 genome equivalents was determined for the assay. Application of the assay in natural and artificially contaminated culture enriched foods, including soft cheese, meat, milk, vegetables and fish, enabled detection of 1-5 CFU L. monocytogenes per 25g/ml of food sample in 30h. The performance of the assay was compared with the Roche Diagnostics 'LightCycler foodproof Listeria monocytogenes Detection Kit'. Both methods detected L. monocytogenes in all artificially contaminated retail samples (n=27) and L. monocytogenes was not detected by either system in 27 natural retail food samples. The method developed in this study has the potential to enable the specific detection of L. monocytogenes in a variety of food types in a time-frame considerably faster than current standard methods. The potential of the ssrA gene as a nucleic acid diagnostic (NAD) target has been demonstrated in L. monocytogenes. We are currently developing NAD tests based on the ssrA gene for a range of common foodborne and clinically relevant bacterial pathogens.     

Multiplex PCR for simultaneous detection of Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in meat samples

A multiplex PCR method was developed for simultaneous detection of Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in meat samples. DNA detection sensitivity for this method was 10(3) CFU/ml for each pathogen. When this protocol was used for the detection of each of the above pathogenic bacteria in spiked pork samples, 1 cell per 25 g of inoculated sample could be detected within 30 h. In the samples of naturally contaminated meat, Salmonella spp., L. monocytogenes, and E. coli O157:H7 were detected over the same time period. Excellent agreement was obtained for the results of multiplex PCR and the conventional culture method, which suggests that the multiplex PCR is a reliable and useful method for rapid screening of meat products for Salmonella spp., L. monocytogenes, and E. coli O157:H7 contamination.     

A rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay for the identification of Listeria monocytogenes in food samples.

A rapid and simple assay has been developed which allows specific detection of Listeria monocytogenes within 3.5 h in cultures prepared from suspect food samples and propagated 48 h in selective medium. The assay is based on PCR technology, and uses a specific primer set derived from sequences located down-stream of the hlyA gene. The specificity of the primer set was confirmed by testing 115 L. monocytogenes, 14 L. innocua, 5 L. seeligeri and 4 L. ivanovii isolates. The assay was compared to standard microbiological tests and gave identical results for 83 food samples, including 32 positives. These field trials indicate that the assay developed provides an alternative detection system for L. monocytogenes in foods, which can be used by the food industry.     

A PCR method based on 16S rRNA sequence for simultaneous detection of the genus Listeria and the species Listeria monocytogenes in food products

The genus Listeria comprises six closely related species, of which only Listeria monocytogenes is a human pathogen. The rapid and sensitive detection of L. monocytogenes is important in the food industry as well as in medical diagnosis. In this study, a PCR-based method for the rapid, specific, and sensitive detection of L. monocytogenes in food products was developed. The PCR is based on DNA sequences and primer pairs that are found within the 16S subunit of the rRNA gene and are specific to the Listeria genus and to L. monocytogenes within the Listeria genus. The primers for the Listeria genus and for L. monocytogenes were used in the same reaction mix for their simultaneous detection. In addition, a pair of bacterial primers universal to any bacterial DNA at the 16S subunit of the rRNA gene were developed as a positive control. For the detection of Listeria and L. monocytogenes in food products, the method includes selective enrichment for Listeria followed by DNA extraction and a specific PCR reaction. The method detects 1 to 5 CFU in a 25-g sample in < or = 24 h. It can be easily incorporated into the routine screening of diverse food products and readily adapted for clinical use.

Survey of retail alfalfa sprouts and mushrooms for the presence of Escherichia coil O157:H7, Salmonella,and Listeria with BAX,and evaluation of this polymerase chain reaction-based system with experimentally contaminated samples

BAX, a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based pathogen detection system, was used to survey retail sprouts and mushrooms for contamination with Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella, Listeria spp., and Listeria monocytogenes. No Salmonella or E. coli O157:H7 was detected in the 202 mushroom and 206 alfalfa sprout samples screened. L. monocytogenes was detected in one sprout sample, and seven additional sprout samples tested positive for the genus Listeria. BAX also detected Listeria species in 17 of the mushroom samples. Only 6 of 850 PCR assays (0.7%) failed to amplify control DNA, and therefore reagent failures and the inhibition of PCR by plant compounds were rare. The sensitivity of the detection system was evaluated by assaying samples inoculated with 10 CFU of each of the pathogens. One hundred seventy-two alfalfa sprout samples were inoculated with E. coli O157:H7, and two sets of 130 samples were experimentally contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis and L. monocytogenes. The frequency of detection depended on the protocols used for inoculation and culturing. Inoculation of samples with approximately 10 CFU from frozen stocks yielded detection rates of 87.5 and 94.5% for L. monocylogenes and Salmonella Enteritidis, respectively, in mushrooms. The corresponding rates for alfalfa sprouts were 94.5 and 76.3%. The E. coli O157:H7 detection rate was 100% for mushrooms but only 48.6% for sprouts when standard BAX culture protocols were used. The substitution of an overnight incubation in modified E. coli medium for the 3-h brain heart infusion incubation increased the rate of E. coli O157:H7 detection to 75% for experimentally contaminated sprouts. The detection rate was 100% when E. coli O157:H7 cells from a fresh overnight culture were used for the inoculation. Test sensitivity is therefore influenced by the type of produce involved and is probably related to the growth of pathogens in the resuscitation and enrichment media.
