Abstract
One immunomagnetic separation (IMS) assay based on immunomagnetic beads (IMBs) has been evaluated as a potential pretreatment tool for the separation and enrichment of target bacteria. In this study, we successfully immobilized antibodies onto magnetic bead surfaces to form IMBs through biotin and a streptavidin (SA) system to capture viable but nonculturable (VBNC) Cronobacter sakazakii (C. sakazakii) from dairy products. Various parameters that affected the capture efficiency (CE) of IMS, including the number of antibodies, IMBs dose, incubation time, magnetic separation time, and immunoreaction temperature, were systematically investigated. We further determined the optimal enrichment conditions for different dairy substrates to ensure maximum enrichment of target pathogens in the system. An IMS technique combining improved propidium monoazide (PMAxx) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) was established to detect the pathogenic VBNC C. sakazakii. The IMS-PMAxx-ddPCR method after IMBs enrichment showed higher accuracy when the VBNC C. sakazakii was under 1 Log10 copies/g. The detection limit for this method in a background of powdered infant formula (PIF) was 5.6 copies/g. In summary, the developed IMS-PMAxx-ddPCR method has great potential for the analysis and detection of VBNC bacteria in food.

Labchip-based diagnosis system for on-site application: Sensitive and easy-to-implement detection of single recoverable Cronobacter in infant formula without post-enrichment treatment. Int J Food Microbiol 2020; 327:108659. [PMID: 32413591 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2020.108659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2020] [Revised: 05/06/2020] [Accepted: 05/07/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Microfluidic labchips have achieved much advancement in the molecular diagnosis of foodborne pathogens. Whereas difficulties in the flow control during the transportation of liquid fluids can occur and should be overcome. Manipulations of reaction temperature and the complex procedures from sample pre-treatment to analysis in a single chip device are major obstacles for the on-site application. Thus, the efficient temperature control of samples without any flow of reaction fluids in microfluidic channels of plastic chip and the simplest protocol omitting post-enrichment processing steps may overcome these limitations represented by the stability and the complexity, respectively. This study aims to develop a novel type of labchip and thermocycler specialized for the gene amplification in microfluidic channels and to evaluate the detectability by sensing the minimum recoverable level of Cronobacter in powdered infant formula (PIF). We developed a thermocycling device accelerating reactions through dual heating-blocks optimized to control temperatures of samples in microfluidic-channels by direct contact with labchip sequentially and repetitively. The structural design of microfluidic channels was to eliminate interference factors associated with the optical detection of fluorescent signals (without distortion due to air bubbles in the reaction chamber). To improve the applicability, a portable device and simplified operation to allow direct loading of samples in the chip without post-enrichment procedures were also adopted. Detection performance was evaluated by a sensitivity/specificity tests using 50 isolates of Cronobacter. Cross-reactivity tests for non-Cronobacter organisms and gDNA [human, raw materials of PIF (cow, soybean)] showed that there was no interference-factor causing false-positive results. In terms of the applied research conducted by using PIF, the enrichment of samples without broth medium (distilled water) displayed outstanding performance and 12 h of incubation facilitated detecting target at concentration as low as 1 CFU/300 g PIF (as initial contamination level) without post-enrichment treatment. Validation of the operation conditions using 30 commercial PIF products was also consistent. The present study presents a novel approach of microfluidic technology with perspective to not only the performance and the practicability [easy-to-implement protocol, portable materials, cost-effectiveness (the use of a miniaturized plastic chip requires a minimum level of materials)] for on-site diagnosis.

Abstract
Rapid analytical methods are urgently needed to evaluate Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 in food. In this work, a novel recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA)-based lateral flow dipstick (LFD) method was developed to detect E. coli. Briefly, suitable primers and probes were designed and screened. Then, RPA reaction parameters, including volume, time, and temperature, were optimized. The specificity and sensitivity of RPA-LFD were analyzed, and a contaminated milk sample was used to test the detection performance of the proposed method. The optimal RPA reaction conditions included a minimum volume of 10 μL, incubation time of 10 min, temperature range of 39-42 °C, the primer pair EOF4/EOR3, and the probe EOProb. RPA-LFD was highly sensitive, it could detect as little as 1 fg of the genomic DNA of E. coli O157:H7, and 19 nontarget DNA of foodborne bacteria did not yield amplification products. Finally, the limit of detection of RPA-LFD for E. coli O157:H7 in artificially contaminated raw milk was 4.4 CFU/mL. In summary, the RPA-LFD assay developed in this study is an effective tool for the rapid investigation of E. coli O157:H7 contamination in raw milk samples.

Abstract
This work describes an aptasensor for the foodborne pathogen Shigella dysenteriae (S. dysenteriae). A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by electrodeposition. Then, thiolated aptamer for S. dysenteriae detection was self-assembled on the surface of the modified GCE, and any free residual AuNPs were blocked with 6-mercapto-1-hexanol. The size, morphology, and distribution of the AuNPs were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy. Detection of S. dysenteriae was performed measurement of the charge transfer resistance (Rct) before and after addition of S. dysenteriae using hexacyanoferrate as an electrochemical probe. The interaction between the aptamer and outer-membrane proteins of S. dysenteriae lead to an increase in the Rct of the sensor. The assay has a linear dynamic range that extends from 101 to 106 CFU.mL-1 and a limit of detection of 100 CFU.mL-1. It can differentiate between alive S. dysenteriae and other pathogens. Dead S. dysenteriae cells do not have any effect on selectivity. Unpasteurized and pasteurized skim milk and some water samples were spiked with S. dysenteriae and then successfully examined by this method. The results were validated by real-time PCR. The method is fast, low-cost, highly sensitive, and specific. Hence, it represents a valuable tool in food quality control. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of a label free impedimetric aptasensor for Shigella dysenteriae using a glassy carbon electrode modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and 6-mercapto-1-hexanol (MCH). The limit of detection of this aptasensor is as low as 1 CFU.mL-1 for target bacteria.

Abstract
In the current study, a duplex PCR-ELISA method was developed targeting the specific genes, invA of Salmonella spp. and rfbE of Escherichia coli O157: H7, to detect one or both bacteria in food. In brief, PCR product amplified by PCR primer labeled with digoxin at the 5'-end and a probe labeled with biotin at the 3'-end can form dimer by nucleic acid hybridization which can be captured by binding of biotin to streptomycin coated in ELISA plate before using enzyme-labeled anti-digoxin antibody and substrate to develop color. Also, evaluation of the duplex PCR-ELISA method was conducted in different food samples including milk, juice, cabbage, shrimp, chicken, pork and beef. Results indicated that the duplex PCR-ELISA developed here was specific when using 25 non-target bacteria strains as controls and was sensitive with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1 CFU/mL, 1, 000 times higher than that of the duplex PCR method and was repeatable regardless of inter- and intra-batch variations. The duplex PCR-ELISA method established in the present study has proven to be highly specific, sensitive and repeatable. It has the potential to be applied in such fields as clinical diagnosis of food-borne diseases, food hygiene monitoring and pathogen detection in food.

Abstract
Cronobacter sakazakii is a severe virulent strain that is frequently detected in powdered infant formula (PIF). Therefore, it is necessary to develop a fast and specific detection method. The specificity of our newly developed quantitative real-time PCR (qRT–PCR) was validated with DNA from 46 strains. Among them, 12 C. sakazakii strains were correctly amplified, whereas no positive florescent signal was observed from 34 nontarget controls. The detection limit of C. sakazakii was about 110 CFU/mL in broth and 1100 CFU/g in PIF. After enrichment in buffered peptone water for 6 h, our developed qRT–PCR assay could reliably detect C. sakazakii when the inoculation level was as low as 2 CFU/25 g (0.08 CFU/g) in PIF. The growth of C. sakazakii could be inhibited by the presence of Lactobacillus pentosus and Bacillus cereus, which used a longer enrichment period before the isolation was accomplished. However, at 5 and 50 CFU/25 g inoculation levels of C. sakazakii in the presence of 4 × 106 CFU L. pentosus/25 g or of 2 × 104 CFU B. cereus/25 g, the qRT–PCR assay could detect the presence of Cronobacter even though these artificially spiked samples were negative in culture. Therefore, our results indicated that the qRT–PCR assay could detect samples containing inhibitors and could avoid false negatives by using an internal amplification control.

Abstract
Cronobacter species are opportunistic foodborne pathogens associated with serious infections in preterm neonates and infants. Based on the epidemiological research, infant formula products are considered to be the main source of infections from this organism. Therefore, accurate methods are required for detection of Cronobacter species. In this study, the specific probe and primers for detection of this organism were designed and verified. The probe-magnetic beads were prepared for sequence capture, followed by PCR assay to detect the target gene. This probe-magnetic separation PCR assay could detect as few as 10(3) cfu/mL of Cronobacter in artificially contaminated infant formulas in less than 4 h. The combination of magnetic beads and PCR showed the potential for the detection of Cronobacter in infant formulas and may have applications in the dairy industry.
