Comparison of DNA Extraction Methods for the Quantification of Listeria monocytogenes in Dairy Products by Real-Time Quantitative PCR>.

Listeria monocytogenes is a common foodborne pathogen affecting public health. Thus, detecting L. monocytogenes, even at low levels, in food matrices is essential. However, the current culture methods used for its detection and quantification are time consuming and difficult owing to background flora and interference by food matrices. DNA-based assays depend on DNA extraction and purification techniques. No optimal DNA extraction kit has been developed for analyzing L. monocytogenes in dairy products by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine the efficiency of three DNA extraction kits for detecting L. monocytogenes in dairy products by RT-qPCR. We tested the efficiency of three commercial kits for DNA extraction from L. monocytogenes artificially inoculated in milk and dairy products. For the PrepSEQ rapid spin sample preparation kit and Exgene Cell SV mini, the limit of detection of was 100, 100, and 101 CFU/mL L. monocytogenes in milk, processed cheese, and infant formula, respectively, whereas that of the QIAamp DNA mini kit was 101, 103, and 102 CFU/mL, respectively. In addition, the Exgene Cell SV mini was better than the PrepSEQ rapid spin sample preparation kit for obtaining a standard curve for RT-qPCR of L. monocytogenes DNA in milk and dairy products, with a high correlation coefficient and amplification efficiency. The results of this study may be valuable for diagnostic laboratories and for developing an effective extraction method for processing food samples, such as dairy products, to subsequently detect and quantify L. monocytogenes by RT-qPCR.

Evaluation of applied biosystems MicroSeq real-time PCR system for detection of Listeria monocytogenes in food. Performance Tested Method 011002.

Increasingly, more food companies are relying on molecular methods, such as PCR, for pathogen detection due to their improved simplicity, sensitivity, and rapid time to results. This report describes the validation of a new Real-Time PCR method to detect Listeria monocytogenes in nine different food matrixes. The complete system consists of the MicroSEQ L. monocytogenes Detection Kit, sample preparation, the Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR instrument, and RapidFinder Express software. Two sample preparation methods were validated: the PrepSEQ Nucleic Acid extraction kit and the PrepSEQ Rapid Spin sample preparation kit. The test method was compared to the ISO 11290-1 reference method using an unpaired-study design to detect L. monocytogenes in roast beef, cured bacon, lox (smoked salmon), lettuce, whole cow's milk, dry infant formula, ice cream, salad dressing, and mayonnaise. The MicroSEQ L. monocytogenes Detection Kit and the ISO 11290-1 reference method showed equivalent detection based on Chi-square analysis for all food matrixes when the samples were prepared using either of the two sample preparation methods. An independent validation confirmed these findings on smoked salmon and whole cow's milk. The MicroSEQ kit detected all 50 L. monocytogenes strains tested, and none of the 30 nontargeted bacteria strains.
