Simultaneous detection of Escherichia coli O175:H7, Salmonella spp., and Listeria monocytogenes by multiplex PCR
The wide application of nucleic acid amplification techniques and the increasing industrial interest
toward rapid methods has led to the development and application of PCR based methods for the detection
of microbial pathogens in food. In the present paper we describe the development of a multiplex PCR
method for simultaneous detection of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes
and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in a complex food matrix (liquid whole egg).
Four different DNA extraction procedures were evaluated for their application on food and, among
these, Chelex resin combined with a DNA purification step were found to better perform on the food system
considered.
A multiplex PCR system was developed, based on the evaluation and combination of published primer
sets, and applied to the simultaneous detection of the target pathogens plus an internal amplification
control, both in culture media and in a model food system.
The overall system proposed, based on an overnight enrichment step followed by DNA isolation and
multiplex PCR, was satisfactorily tested for its specificity and sensitivity and allowed the detection of
the presence of bacterial DNA and the identification of the target pathogens down to 10 cells/25 g liquid
whole egg
