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.

AbstractA rapid and sensitive real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay coupled with SYBR Green I chemistry was developed for the quantitative detection of Turbot reddish body iridovirus (TRBIV) isolated from farmed turbot (Scophthalmus maximus). A 152 bp DNA fragment from the TRBIV major capsid protein (MCP) gene was involved in the real-time PCR (RT-PCR) assay using the Roter Gene 3000 sequence detection system. The PCR mixture contained a fluorescent dye, SYBR Green I, which exhibited fluorescence enhancement when bound to double-stranded (ds) DNA. The enhancement of fluorescence was proportional to the initial concentration of the template DNA. The positive control plasmid, pUCm-T/TRBIV MCP, containing the target sequence, was quantified to make a standard curve for sample detection after serial tenfold dilution. Linear coefficient correlations between the cycle threshold (CT) value and logarithmic positive plasmid concentration were close to one (R2=0.9952) and the detection limit of the assay was 102 copies of positive plasmids. The quantitative detection of virus in different tissues from TRBIV-infected fish showed that the spleen and kidney contained the largest number of viral particles (5.23×106 and 2.18×106 viral genome copies/mg tissue, respectively), while no viral DNA was detected in the muscular tissue. The molecular epidemic investigation of TRBIV showed that many cultured turbots were infected and TRBIV has become epidemic in turbot farms located along the Shandong peninsula. The virus number varied from 1.27×102 to 2.33×106 viral genome copies/mg tissue in spleens of infected turbot. These results suggest that the RT-PCR assay reported here can be used as a rapid, sensitive and quantitative method for TRBIV.

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.
