detection of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 in Milk by Pcr
نویسنده
چکیده
Shigellosis is the severest form of bacillary dysentery, a disease limited to humans and certain other primates. Conventional microbiological techniques used for the isolation and biochemical identification of microbes are timeconsuming as well as labour intensive. Due to the fastidious nature of Shigella and the lengthy culture time, a rapid and sensitive system for the detection of bacteria is highly desirable. Nucleic acid-based techniques have enormous potential in the detection of biological weapons because of their specificity, sensitivity, and the speed with which results can be obtained. The application of polymerase chain reaction in sensitive detection of bacterial pathogens in direct food samples is largely affected by the quality of the template DNA. To overcome the shortcomings of conventional methods, simple method of sample preparation that facilitates PCR based detection of Shigella dysenteriae in milk is defined. In present study, gene specific primers were designed to detect stxA gene. The genomic DNA extraction from the spiked milk was carried out using proteinase K, lysozyme, chloroform-isoamyl alcohol and heat treatments. For detection extraction of DNA by addition of chloroform-isoamyl alcohol proved to be the most satisfactory amongst all, with limit of detection of 2.0 x 103 cfu/reaction and was completed in 4 h.

Detection of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 and Shigella flexneri in feces by immunomagnetic isolation and polymerase chain reaction.
A combination of immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedure was used for direct isolation and identification of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 and Shigella flexneri from feces. Immunomagnetic particles were coated with monoclonal antibody MASFB, which is specific for a common epitope of the O polysaccharides of S. dysenteriae type 1 and S. flexneri. Bacteria bo...
متن کاملFusion of Cholera toxin B subunit (ctxB) with Shigella dysenteriae type I toxin B subunit (stxB), Cloning and Expression that in E. coli
Background and Objective: Shiga toxin (STx) is the main virulence factor in Shigella Dysenteriae type I and is composed of an enzymatic subunit STxA monomer and a receptor-binding STxB homopentamer. Shigella toxin B subunit (STxB) is a non-toxic homopentameric protein responsible for toxin binding and internalization into target cells by interacting with glycolipid (Gb3). Cholera toxi...
متن کاملSurvival of Shigella dysenteriae on fomites
Studies have shown that various objects, such as utensils, toys, and clothes, can serve as vehicles for transmission of Shigella spp. Shigellae can become viable but non-culturable (VBNC) when exposed to various environmental conditions as shown in earlier studies. The present study was carried out to detect VBNC Shigella dysenteriae type 1 on various fomites by direct viable counting, polymera...
متن کاملCongo red binding and salt aggregation as indicators of virulence in Shigella species.
Smooth strains of Shigella dysenteriae type 1, Shigella flexneri, Shigella boydii, and Shigella sonnei which form pigmented colonies (Pcr+) on Congo red agar were virulent in the Sereny test. Smooth variants unable to bind Congo red (Pcr-) were avirulent. Measurements of dye uptake from solution showed that S. dysenteriae type 1 bound the most dye, followed in order of uptake by S. flexneri, S....

Background and Aims: Shigellosis is an acute gastroenteritis and Invasion plasmid antigen C (IpaC) is the first effector protein for Shigella invasion of intestinal cells. Among lactic acid bacteria, Bifidobacterium lactis (B. lactis) has received increasing attention for protection of a potential host against gastrointestinal infections. The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory ...
