Abstract DNA extraction methods were evaluated to reduce PCR inhibitors and quantify Helicobacter pylori directly from water samples using real-time PCR. Three nucleic acid extraction methods were evaluated for different types of water samples. While the QIAamp DNA mini kit for tissue was suitable for DNA extraction from treated water, the QIAamp DNA stool mini kit was still efficient in analyzing samples from river water after heavy rain and with high concentration of PCR inhibitors. The FastDNA SPIN Kit for Soil could extract DNA effectively from microbes in river and stream waters without heavy rain. Immunomagnetic separation (IMS) was used prior to DNA extraction and was a useful tool for reducing PCR inhibitors in influent and stream samples. H. pylori in various waters could be quantified directly by real-time PCR while minimizing the effect of PCR inhibitors by an appropriate method through the evaluation of DNA extraction methods considering the characteristics of the matrix water. The findings of the present study suggest that the types or characteristics of water sample by source and precipitation are an important factor in detecting H. pylori and they can be applied when detecting and monitoring of other pathogens in water.

Newer methods such as PCR are being investigated in order to improve the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis. One of the major obstacles to using PCR to diagnose aspergillosis is a reliable, simple method for extraction of the fungal DNA. The presence of a complex, sturdy cell wall that is resistant to lysis impairs extraction of the DNA by conventional methods employed for bacteria. Numerous fungal DNA extraction protocols have been described in the literature. However, these methods are time-consuming, require a high level of skill and may not be suitable for use as a routine diagnostic technique. Here, a number of extraction methods were compared: a freeze–thaw method, a freeze–boil method, enzyme extraction and a bead-beating method using Mini-BeadBeater-8. The quality and quantity of the DNA extracted was compared using real-time PCR. It was found that the use of a bead-beating method followed by extraction with AL buffer (Qiagen) was the most successful extraction technique, giving the greatest yield of DNA, and was also the least time-consuming method assessed.

ABSTRACTThe purpose of the study was to evaluate three real-time PCR platforms for rapid detection of Salmonella from cloves and to compare three different DNA extraction methods. Six trials were conducted with two clove cultivars, Ceylon and Madagascar, and three Salmonella serotypes, Montevideo, Typhimurium, and Weltevreden. Each trial consisted of 20 test portions. The preenrichment cultures were used to perform PCR for comparison of the effectiveness of U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Pacific Regional Laboratory Southwest (FDA-PRLSW), Applied Biosystems Inc. (ABI) MicroSEQ, and GeneDisc platforms for detection of Salmonella. Three DNA extraction methods were used: standard extraction method for each PCR platform, boil preparation, and LyseNow food pathogen DNA extraction cards. The results from real-time PCR correlated well with FDA Bacteriological Analytical Manual culture assay results, with a wide range of cycle threshold (CT) values among the three PCR platforms for intended positive samples. The mean CT values for MicroSEQ (16.36 ± 2.78) were significantly lower than for PRLSW (20.37 ± 3.45) and GeneDisc (23.88 ± 2.90) (P < 0.0001). Pairwise comparisons between PCR platforms using different DNA extraction methods indicate that the CT values are inversely proportional to the relative DNA quantity (RDQ) yields by different platform-extraction combinations. The pairing of MicroSEQ and boil preparation generated the highest RDQ of 120 and the lowest average CT value of 14.48, whereas the pairing of GeneDisc and LyseNow generated the lowest RDQ of 0.18 and the highest average CT of 25.97. Boil preparation yielded higher RDQ than the other extraction methods for all three PCR platforms. Although the MicroSEQ platform generated the lowest CT values, its sensitivity was compromised by narrow separations between the positive and negative samples. The PRLSW platform generated the best segregation between positive and negative groups and is less likely to produce false results. In conclusion, FDA-PRLSW was the most efficient PCR assay for Salmonella detection, and boil preparation was the best method for DNA extraction.
