Halal food means food that permitted under Islamic law and fulfills about requirements. The absence of information about halal food contained in UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya (UINSA) campus area causes related research to be carried out. This study aims to determine the porcine DNA contamination on food around UINSA area using molecular technology. Twenty two samples used were foods that contain meat and may contain pork obtained from canteens around UINSA area, analyzed using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method. The analysis was started with DNA isolation of 22 food samples, electrophoresis, PCR, then visualization gel electrophoresis. Primer gene coding for cytochrome b (cyt b) which produces 149 bp of DNA fragments. The results showed that no porcine contamination in 22 food samples, while the positive control showed a band of 149 bp. End point PCR method potentially to detect porcine DNA contaminants in food products around UINSA. Therefore the food is halal and safe for consumption.

A method that combined the immunomagnetic separation (IMS) technique and the multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method (i.e., the IMS-mPCR method) was developed for simultaneous detection of Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. in food samples. When only the multiplex PCR method was used, it was found that if cell numbers of each of the two target organisms (L. monocytogenes and Salmonella spp.) were above the detection limit, but differed by more than 2 logs—e.g., n × 107 to n × 104 or n × 106 to n × 103—the organism presenting the lower numbers might go undetected. Following the enrichment step with universal preenrichment (UP) broth, if an IMS method using equal quantities of anti-Listeria and anti-Salmonella immunomagnetic beads was performed prior to PCR, both pathogens could be detected unambiguously. Such results could be obtained for target organisms in food samples, such as milk, dairy, and meat products, if similar enrichment and IMS steps were performed prior to PCR.

Background and Aims: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a gram-negative, microaerophilic, spiral-shaped flagellated bacterium that is urease, catalase and oxidase positive. One of its pathogenicity factors is the iceA gene. H. pylori has recently been recognized as a genetic indicator for the development and evolution of duodenal ulcer disease in the East. This study aimed to determine the presence of this bacterium in gingival plaques in non-endocrine patients in Bojnourd city, and the polymerase chain reaction technique examined the percentage of iceA gene. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 samples of dental plaque were taken and transferred to a tube that has been physiologically placed. After DNA extraction, primer design was performed, and then the polymerase chain reaction was performed for the whole sample. Results: Of 100 samples examined in this study, two samples of H. pylori were positive (2%), and the frequency of the iceA gene of two samples was positive (100%). Conclusion: In the Bojnord city, the frequency of iceA gene in people is high, and the frequency of H. pylori in tooth plaques is low. Also, iceA gene can be considered as an indicator for predicting the contamination and risk of H. pylori infection in the region. To confirm the results, more molecular studies are required in other populations.

Various prevalence studies onLeptospirain animals and humans, as well as environmental samples, had been conducted worldwide, including Malaysia. However, limited studies have been documented on the presence of pathogenic, intermediate, and saprophyticLeptospirain selected animals and environments. This study was therefore conducted to detectLeptospiraspp. in rats, soil, and water from urban areas of Sarawak using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. A total of 107 rats, 292 soil samples, and 324 water samples were collected from April 2014 to February 2015. PathogenicLeptospirawas present in 5.6% (6/107) of rats, 11.6% (34/292) of soil samples, and 1.9% (6/324) of water samples. IntermediateLeptospirawas present in 2.7% (8/292) of soil samples and 1.9% (6/324) of water samples. SaprophyticLeptospirawas present in 10.3% (11/107) of rats, 1.4% (4/292) of soil samples, and 0.3% (1/324) of water samples. From this study, 76Leptospiraspp. were isolated. Based on DNA sequencing, the dominantLeptospiraspp. circulating in urban areas of Sarawak are pathogenicLeptospira noguchii, intermediateLeptospira wolffiiserovar Khorat, and saprophyticLeptospira meyeri, respectively. Overall, this study provided important surveillance data on the prevalence ofLeptospiraspp. from rats and the environment, with dominant local serovars in urban areas of Sarawak.

Abstract Context.—BK virus infections among immunocompromised patients are associated with disease of the kidney or urinary bladder. High viral loads, determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), have been correlated with clinical disease. Objective.—To develop and evaluate a novel method for real-time PCR detection and quantification of BK virus using labeled primers. Design.—Patient specimens (n = 54) included 17 plasma, 12 whole blood, and 25 urine samples. DNA was extracted using the MagNA Pure LC Total Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit (Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, Indiana); sample eluate was PCR-amplified using the labeled primer PCR method. Results were compared with those of a user-developed quantitative real-time PCR method (fluorescence resonance energy transfer probe hybridization). Results.—Labeled primer PCR detected less than 10 copies per reaction and showed quantitative linearity from 101 to 107 copies per reaction. Analytical specificity of labeled primer PCR was 100%. With clinical samples, labeled primer PCR demonstrated a trend toward improved sensitivity compared with the reference method. Quantitative assay comparison showed an R2 value of 0.96 between the 2 assays. Conclusions.—Real-time PCR using labeled primers is highly sensitive and specific for the quantitative detection of BK virus from a variety of clinical specimens. These data demonstrate the applicability of labeled primer PCR for quantitative viral detection and offer a simplified method that removes the need for separate oligonucleotide probes.
