Rapid detection of the top six non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O groups in ground beef by flow cytometry.

چکیده
Rapid, sensitive, and highly specific flow-cytometric assays were developed for the detection of the top six non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O groups in ground beef. The analytical sensitivity of the assays was 2 × 10(3) target cells in a bacterial mixture of 10(5) CFU/ml, and the limit of detection in ground beef was 1 to 10 CFU following 8 h of enrichment. The assays may be utilized for rapid detection of STEC O groups in meat.

Rapid O serogroup identification of the six clinically relevant Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli by antibody microarray.
An antibody microarray was developed to detect the "top six" non-O157 serogroups, O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145 of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), that have been declared as adulterant in meat by the Food Safety and Inspection Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. The sensitivity of the array was 10(5)CFU and the limit of detection of each serogroup in ar...

When 3,972 ground beef enrichments with 6 confirmed to contain a non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing intimin-positive Escherichia coli isolate were tested for Shiga toxin, intimin, and O group (O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145) genes, 183 potential positives and only 2 of the 6 confirmed positives were identified.
متن کاملDetection of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in ground beef using the GeneDisc real-time PCR system
Escherichia coli O157:H7 and certain non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) serogroups have emerged as important public health threats. The development of methods for rapid and reliable detection of this heterogeneous group of pathogens has been challenging. GeneDisc real-time PCR assays were evaluated for detection of the stx(1), stx(2), eae, and ehxA genes and a gene that iden...
متن کاملSensitive PCR Method for Detection of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 and Other Shiga toxin-producing Bacteria in Ground Meat
and Implications Sensitivity of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedure was evaluated for Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Shiga toxin gene (stx) detection in ground beef and ground pork at contamination levels of 0.14, 1.4, and 14 colony forming units per gram (CFU/g) of meat. The PCR procedure, developed during our previous research, amplifies three target genes simultaneously: uidA that is s...
متن کاملDetection by multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction assays and isolation of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli serogroups O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145 in ground beef.
Six Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) serogroups, which include O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145, are responsible for the majority of non-O157 STEC infections in the United States, representing a growing public health concern. Cattle and other ruminants are reservoirs for these pathogens; thus, food of bovine origin may be a vehicle for infection with non-O157 STEC. Methods for ...
