Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although anaerobic bacteria are important agents of a wide variety of serious infections, they are overlooked often in the etiology of infection due to difficulties in isolation and detection. The aim of this study was to develop a new multiplex PCR panel that could detect Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, Prevotella, Veillonella, Clostridium, Peptostreptococcus, and Actinomyces bacteria, which are the most frequently isolated from anaerobic infections, at the genus level. METHOD Aerobic and anaerobic cultures were performed on 46 clinical specimens, with suspicion of anaerobic infection and were sent to the laboratory. DNA isolation was performed with the same samples and anaerobic bacteria were detected by the multiplex PCR test developed in the study. RESULT The analytical sensitivity of the multiplex PCR assay was found to be 1-103 CFU/ml, depending on the bacterial species. In this study, anaerobic growth was observed in eight (17.4%) of 46 clinical samples. The multiplex PCR test detected 35 anaerobic bacteria from 20 (43.5%) of 46 clinical samples. The most common anaerobes isolated from clinical specimens by the multiplex PCR assay were Prevotella spp. (37.1%) and Fusobacterium spp. (22.9%) while Clostridium spp. (14.3%), Peptostreptococcus spp. (11.4%), Bacteroides spp. (8.6%), and Veillonella spp. (5.7%) followed these genera. CONCLUSION As a result, it was concluded that the multiplex PCR panel developed in this study eliminates problems in the detection of anaerobes based on culture, provides more accurate detection of anaerobic bacteria from clinical specimens, takes a shorter time, and allows more accurate infection treatment.

Abstract
The public health risk posed by Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat (RTE) foods depends on the effectiveness of its control at every stage of the production process and the strain involved. Analytical methods currently in use are limited to the identification/quantification of L. monocytogenes at the species level, without distinguishing virulent from hypovirulent strains. In these products, according to EU Regulation 2073/2005, L. monocytogenes is a mandatory criterion irrespective of strain virulence level. Indeed, this species encompasses a diversity of strains with various pathogenic potential, reflecting genetic heterogeneity of the species itself. Thus, the detection of specific L. monocytogenes virulence genes can be considered an important target in laboratory food analysis to assign different risk levels to foods contaminated by strains carrying different genes. In 2015-2016, a severe invasive listeriosis outbreak occurred in central Italy, leading to the intensification of routine surveillance and strain characterization for virulence genetic markers. A new multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction targeting main virulence genes has been developed and validated against the enzyme-linked fluorescent assay (ELFA) culture-based method. Results of the improved surveillance program are now reported in this study.

Abstract
In this study, we established a rapid and sensitive method for the detection of viable Salmonella Typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes in milk using biotin-exposure-based immunomagnetic separation (IMS) combined with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), propidium monoazide (PMA), and multiplex real-time PCR (mRT-PCR). We used IMS to lessen the assay time for isolation of target bacteria. We then optimized the coupling conditions and immunomagnetic capture process. The immunoreaction and incubation times for 5 μg of mAb coupled with 500 μg of streptavidin-functionalized magnetic beads using a streptavidin-biotin system were 90 and 30 min, respectively. Treatment with SDS-PMA before mRT-PCR amplification eliminated false-positive outcomes from dead bacteria and identified viable target bacteria with good sensitivity and specificity. The limit of detection of IMS combined with the SDS-PMA-mRT-PCR assay for the detection of viable Salmonella Typhimurium, Staph. aureus, and L. monocytogenes in spiked milk matrix samples was 10 cfu/mL and remained significant even in the appearance of 106 cfu/mL of nontarget bacteria. The entire detection process was able to identify viable bacteria within 9 h. The combination of biotin-exposure-mediated IMS and SDS-PMA-mRT-PCR has potential value for the rapid and sensitive detection of foodborne pathogens.

Abstract
Background/aim We aimed to develop a rapid method to enumerate Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) utilizing magnetic nanoparticle based preconcentration and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy measurements. Materials and methods Biological activities of magnetic Au-nanoparticles have been observed to have the high biocompatibility, and a sample immunosensor model has been designed to use avidin attached Au-nanoparticles for L. monocytogenes detection. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) bacteria cultures were chosen for control studies. Antimicrobial activity studies have been done to identify bio-compatibility and bio-characterization of the Au-nanoparticles in our previous study and capturing efficiencies to bacterial surfaces have been also investigated. Results We constructed the calibration graphs in various population density of L. monocytogenes as 2.2 × 101 to 2.2 × 106 cfu/mL and the capture efficiency was found to be 75%. After the optimization procedures, population density of L. monocytogenes and Raman signal intensity showed a good linear correlation (R2 = 0.991) between 102 to 106 cfu/mL L. monocytogenes. The presented sandwich assay provides low detection limits and limit of quantification as 12 cfu/mL and 37 cfu/mL, respectively. We also compared the experimental results with reference plate-counting methods and the practical utility of the proposed assay is demonstrated using milk samples. Conclusion It is focused on the enumeration of L. monocytogenes in milk samples and the comparision of results of milk analysis obtained by the proposed SERS method and by plate counting method stay in food agreement. In the present study, all parameters were optimized to select SERS-based immunoassay method for L. monocytogenes bacteria to ensure LOD, selectivity, precision and repeatablity.

Abstract
Various pathogens may coexist in one sample; however, detection methods that rely on traditional selective culture media or immune agents designed specifically for a certain target are unsuitable for multiple targets. It is important to develop a simultaneous and sensitive detection method for multiple pathogens. Here, a multicolor and ultrasensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) platform based on the fluorescence hybridization chain reaction (HCR) was developed. In the assay, multicolor fluorescence concatemers formed as signal amplifiers and signal reporters in the presence of target pathogens. When HCR occurred, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella serotype Choleraesuis, and Listeria monocytogenes were detected simultaneously with three different fluorescences. Additionally, the limits of detection for E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella Choleraesuis, and L. monocytogenes were 3.4 × 101, 6.4 × 100, and 7.0 × 101 CFU/mL, respectively. The assay achieved ultrasensitive, specific, and simultaneous detection of three pathogens and can be applied to the detection of pathogens in milk samples. Therefore, this multicolor and ultrasensitive ELISA platform has great potential in the application of simultaneous detection of pathogens.

Abstract
Salmonella is a pathogenic bacterium contributing to food poisoning and acute infectious intestinal disease. The traditional standard detection method is based on the principle of liquid phase enrichment and has a low sensitivity on targeted bacteria. We previously developed a visual immunosensor technique for efficient detection and isolation of Salmonella by applying fluorescent nanobioprobes on a specially-designed cellulose-based swab. In this study, a whole-sample solid-phase enrichment assay (WSEA) was established by optimization of the enrichment medium using response surface methodology (RSM), a powerful statistical tool for regression analysis. The optimal formula was determined as: 0.60% polyvalent poly peptone, 0.40% buffered peptone water, 0.09% ferric citrate amine, 0.24% sodium hyposulfite, 0.035% cystine, 0.01 µg mL−1 super absorbing polymer, 0.011% sodium deoxycholate, 15.00 µg mL−1 ethyl green and 30.00 µg mL−1 sodium selenite. Using this formula, Salmonella was visualized with naked eyes by relying on the indication of black spots formed on the swab. The analytic sensitivity of the assay was determined as 101 cells mL−1 with a concentration of interfering bacteria (Escherichia coli) at 105 cells mL−1. This optimized formula was confirmed with 4006 patients’ fecal samples, in which the positive rate was 0.42% by the conventional culture-based method and 2.12% by WSEA. The optimized formulation on solid phase enrichment by RSM allows relatively quick, low-cost, and large-scale detection of Salmonella, and could be used in grassroots medical institutions.

Abstract
Food safety has become an important public health issue worldwide. However, conventional methods for detection of food-borne pathogens are complicated, and labor-intensive. Moreover, the sensitivity is often low, and it is difficult to achieve high-throughput detection. This study developed a TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the simultaneous detection and quantification of 12 common pathogens in a single reaction, including Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes/ivanovii, Salmonella enterica, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, β-streptococcus hemolyticus, Yersinia enterocolitica, Enterococcus faecalis, Shigella spp., Proteus mirabilis, Vibrio fluvialis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Campylobacter jejuni in food and drinking water. Based on published sequence data, specific primers, and fluorescently-labeled hybridization probes were designed targeting based on the virulence genes of the 12 pathogens, and these primers and probes were optimized to achieve consistent reaction conditions. The assay was evaluated using 106 pure bacterial culture strains. There was no cross-reaction among the different pathogens. The analytical sensitivity was 1 copy/μL for E. coli O157:H7, L. monocytogenes/ivanovii, β-streptococcus hemolyticus, Shigella spp., P. mirabilis, and V. fluvialis, 10 copies/μL for S. enterica, V. parahaemolyticus, Y. enterocolitica, E. faecalis, S. aureus, and C. jejuni, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) was 296, 500, 177, 56, 960, 830, 625, 520, 573, 161, 875, and 495 CFU/mL for E. coli O157:H7, L. monocytogenes/ivanovii, S. enterica, V. parahaemolyticus, β-streptococcus hemolyticus, Y. enterocolitica, E. faecalis, Shigella spp., P. mirabilis, V. fluvialis, S. aureus, and C. jejuni, respectively. The limit of detection for the assay in meat samples was 103 CFU/g for V. parahaemolyticus and 104 CFU/g for other 11 strains. Together, these results indicate that the optimized TaqMan real-time PCR assay will be useful for routine detection of pathogenic bacteria due to its rapid analysis, low cost, high-throughput, high specificity, and sensitivity.
