spp., , and are common microbial contaminants within the homology of medicine and food that can cause serious food poisoning. This study describes a highly efficient, sensitive, specific, and simple multiplex real-time quantitative PCR (mRT-qPCR) method for the simultaneous detection of viable spp.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFCronobacter spp. are important opportunistic foodborne pathogens in powdered infant formula that cause many serious diseases in neonates and infants. In this study, a novel assay based on dual signal amplification strategy was developed by coupling asymmetric tailing PCR (AT-PCR) with rolling circle amplification (RCA) for the detection of Cronobacter spp.

To minimize B. cereus food poisoning, propidium monoazide (PMA) combined with quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) called PMA-qPCR was applied for detecting viable emetic B.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFEscherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. in milk are 2 common pathogens that cause foodborne diseases. An accurate, rapid, specific method has been developed for the simultaneous detection of viable E.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA novel sandwich strategy was designed to detect Staphylococcus aureus. The strategy is based on an antibacterial agent that captures bacterial cells and a fluorescein-labeled antibody that acts as the signal-output probe. Vancomycin (Van), which exerts a strong antibacterial effect on Gram-positive bacteria, was utilized as a molecular recognition agent to detect pathogenic bacteria.
