ABSTRACT A quantitative real-time PCR assay targeting the pcrA gene, encoding the catalytic subunit of perchlorate reductase, detected pcrA genes from perchlorate-reducing bacteria in three different genera and from soil microbial communities. Partial pcrA sequences indicated differences in the composition of perchlorate-reducing bacterial communities following exposure to different electron donors.

Abstract A non-radio-labeled probe-based detection method was developed for rapid enumeration of Salmonella in seafood and water samples. A Salmonella-specific invA gene probe was developed using a digoxigenin-based non-radio labeling assay, which was evaluated with naturally contaminated seafood and water samples. The probe-based technique was further compared with the quantitative PCR assay. The method was specific for detection of different Salmonella serovars without any nonspecific hybridization with other Salmonella-related Enterobacteriaceae. The optimum labeling efficiency was determined for the labeled probe, and 10 pg/μL probe concentration was observed to be most efficient for detection of Salmonella colonies on nylon membrane. Quantification of Salmonella in naturally contaminated seafood and water samples (n = 21) was in the range 10–102 CFU/mL. The assay successfully quantified Salmonella in spiked seafood and water samples in the presence of background flora, and the entire assay was completed within 48 h. The probe-based assay was further evaluated with real-time PCR, and results showed that the assay was comparable to real-time PCR assay. Thus, this probe-based assay can be a rapid, useful, and alternative technique for quantitative detection of Salmonella in food, feed, and water samples.

ABSTRACT A quantitative method based on a real-time PCR assay to enumerate Listeria monocytogenes in biofilms was developed. The specificity for L. monocytogenes of primers targeting the listeriolysin gene was demonstrated using a SYBR Green I real-time PCR assay. The number of L. monocytogenes detected growing in biofilms was 6 × 102 CFU/cm2.
