Abstract
It is a public health imperative to have safe food and water across the population. Foodborne infections are one of the primary causes of sickness and mortality in both developed and developing countries. An estimated 100 million foodborne diseases and 120 000 foodborne illness-related fatalities occur each year in India. Several factors affect foodborne illness, such as improper farming methods, poor sanitary and hygienic conditions at all levels of the food supply chain, the lack of preventative measures in the food processing industry, the misuse of food additives, as well as improper storage and handling. In addition, chemical and microbiological combinations also play a key role in disease development. But recent disease outbreaks indicated that microbial pathogens played a major role in the development of foodborne diseases. Therefore, prompt, rapid, and accurate detection of high-risk food pathogens is extremely vital to warrant the safety of the food items. Conventional approaches for identifying foodborne pathogens are labor-intensive and cumbersome. As a result, a range of technologies for the rapid detection of foodborne bacterial pathogens have been developed. Presently, many methods are available for the instantaneous detection, identification, and monitoring of foodborne pathogens, such as nucleic acid-based methods, biosensor-based methods, and immunological-based methods. The goal of this review is to provide a complete evaluation of several existing and emerging strategies for detecting food-borne pathogens. Furthermore, this review outlines innovative methodologies and their uses in food testing, along with their existing limits and future possibilities in the detection of live pathogens in food.

Abstract
The gram-positive bacterium Listeria monocytogenes is an important foodborne pathogen contaminating dairy products. Closely related to L. monocytogenes saprophytic Listeria spp. are also frequent contaminators of food and, particularly, dairy products. To distinguish L. monocytogenes from nonpathogenic Listeria spp. and other bacteria, a dot-immunoassay was developed. The immunoassay is based on the polyclonal antibody to the secreted form of the surface virulence-associated L. monocytogenes-specific InlB protein. To increase InlB production, bacteria were grown on the brain-heart infusion agar supplemented with 0.2% activated charcoal (BHIC agar). Direct plating of artificially contaminated raw milk samples on the BHIC agar followed by the dot-immunoassay allowed a rapid identification of L. monocytogenes in concentrations as little as 10 cfu/mL. Using the developed approach, preliminary results were obtained within 14 h, and the final results were obtained after 26 h. The dot-immunoassay was tested on L. monocytogenes strains belonging to different clonal complexes and phylogenetic lineages, Listeria spp., and other bacterial species. Results showed the exceptional specificity of the developed dot-immunoassay for the rapid identification of L. monocytogenes.

Abstract
This study developed a method to determine Listeria monocytogenes presence in golden needle mushrooms by melting temperature (Tm) in a melting curve of qPCR. For identical samples (n = 35), the results for L. monocytogenes presence determined by Tm values were compared with the results from a conventional detection method (culture-based procedures). The samples that showed the negative result in the conventional method were subsequently examined with the Tm value of qPCR. Tm values for Escherichia coli (87.5 ± 0.4°C), Salmonella (87.6 ± 0.1°C), Staphylococcus aureus (79.2 ± 0.0°C), Listeria innocua (80.5 ± 0.0°C), Listeria ivanovii (79.0 ± 0.4°C), Listeria welshimeri (78.8 ± 0.4°C), and Listeria monocytogenes (83.7 ± 0.2°C) were different, and thus, no similar Tm values of L. monocytogenes were observed with other bacteria. From 35 golden needle mushrooms, 26 samples (74.3%) were L. monocytogenes positive with Tm value of qPCR, but only 13 samples (37.1%) of 35 samples were L. monocytogenes positive using the conventional detection method. Of the samples that were positive with the Tm value of qPCR, but negative with the conventional detection method, 4 samples were selected randomly, and typical L. monocytogenes colonies were detected in CHROMagar. These results indicate that the Tm value in the melting curve of qPCR can be used to detect L. monocytogenes in golden needle mushrooms.

Abstract
The use of direct PCR technique without DNA extraction in the confirmation test for Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028 bacteria on meatball samples was carried out in the Food and Drug molecular biology testing laboratory Administration in Gorontalo. The basis of this research is to have an impact on economic value in carrying out the confirmation test for S. typhimurium ATCC 14028, where testing is carried out conventionally, namely DNA extraction, which requires a large amount of money. Hence, it is necessary to innovate to modify the testing phase so that it is more effective and efficient. The purpose of this study was to see whether the direct PCR technique without DNA extraction can be done for the confirmation test of S. typhimurium ATCC 14028 on meatball samples. This study's sample consisted of 20 types of meatball samples spiked with S. typhimurium ATCC 14028 cultures. The method used in this study was qPCR analysis using the SYBR Green method. Data analysis was carried out based on 2 main criteria: (1) Ct analysis and (2) Tm analysis. Real-time PCR analysis results obtained Ct values in the range 14.14 - 15.20 with an average of 14.82 and Tm values 85.20 - 86.30 with an average of 85.79. Based on these data, it can be concluded that using direct PCR can be used for testing confirmation of S. typhimurium ATCC 14028 on meatball samples.

Abstract
Food poisoning continue to be a threat in the food industry showing a need to improve the detection of the pathogen responsible for the hospitalization cases and death. DNA-based techniques represent a real advantage and allow the detection of several targets at the same time, reducing cost and time of analysis. The development of new methodology using SYBR Green qPCR for the detection of L. monocytogenes, Salmonella spp. and E. coli O157 simultaneously was developed and a non-competitive internal amplification control (NC-IAC) was implemented to detect reaction inhibition. The formulation and supplementation of the enrichment medium was also optimized to allow the growth of all pathogens. The limit of detection (LoD) 95% obtained was <1 CFU/25 g for E. coli O157, and 2 CFU/25 g for Salmonella spp. and L. monocytogenes and regarding the multiplex detection a LoD 95% of 1.7 CFU/25 g was observed. The specificity, relative sensitivity and accuracy of full methodology were 100% and the use of the NC-IAC allowed the reliability of the results without interfering with the sensitivity of the methodology. The described study proved to obtain results comparable to those of probe-based qPCR, and more economically than classical high resolution melting qPCR, being both important aspects for its implementation in the food industry.

Experimentation on artificial inoculation studies for persistence of shiga-like toxin-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli O157) in agricultural soils and vegetables using real-time PCR. J Food Biochem 2019; 43:e13035.

Abstract
Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli O157 is an important reason for largest food borne inflectional outbreaks. E. coli O157 invades into the food chain through contaminated irrigation water and soil causing infectious diseases to humans. In our previous study, we have evaluated the persistence of E. coli O157 through plate count methods. However, conventional cultural procedures are less sensitive to discriminate the pathogenic strain and are time consuming. Therefore, in the present study we have enumerated the persistence of E. coli O157 in soil and vegetables using specific shiga toxin genes (stx1, stx2) through quantitative PCR. Initially, we have standardized a simple Sephadex-based DNA extraction protocol that could detect 2-3 cells/25g of vegetables. Further, quantitative PCR analysis showed a 103 fold difference in the enumeration of persistence as compared to simple plating techniques. Thus, qPCR-based persistence study can be used for rapid and accurate detection techniques for analyzing E. coli O157 contamination. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Our experiment on E. coli O157 expression could be used as a scale for further studies on E. coli O157 pollution in the cropped soils, additionally the DNA extraction protocol experimented by us could be used in all sensitive quantitative assays, as it could detect the expression in lowest cell loads. However, our methodology is a more reliable and sensitive assay compared to normal cultural methods. Our experiment provides a strong evidence of persistence of E. coli O157 prevailing up to half or full cropping season.

Abstract
Recent studies have indicated that homeobox A3 (HOXA3) functions as a carcinogen in colon cancer and the methylation level of HOXA3 is significantly increased in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) tissues. However, at least to the best of our knowledge, few studies to date have been performed on HOXA3 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Therefore, further studies on HOXA3 expression in NSCLC and the potential regulatory mechanisms are urgently required. In this study, HOXA3 expression in 55 tissues of cases of NSCLC and corresponding non-lung cancer tissues was detected by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). In addition, the clinical significance of HOXA3 expression in NSCLC was evaluated using the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Bioinformatics analysis was then performed to elucidate the potential molecular mechanisms of action of HOXA3. Furthermore, the potential target microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) of HOXA3 were predicted using miRWalk2.0. Based on Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and TGCA databases, standardized mean difference (SMD) and sROC methods were used for meta-analyses of the expression of potential target miRNAs of HOXA3 in NSCLC to evaluate their association with HOXA3. The results revealed that the HOXA3 expression levels in NSCLC, LUAD and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) were 0.1130±0.1398, 0.1295±0.16890 and 0.0906±0.0846, respectively. These values were all decreased compared with the normal tissues (0.1877±0.1975, 0.2337±0.2405 and 0.1249±0.0873, respectively, P<0.05). The TCGA database also revealed the low expression trend of HOXA3. The downregulation of HOXA3 may play an important role in the progression and the poor prognosis of LUAD. The TCGA database also suggested that HOXA3 in LUAD and LUSC tissues exhibited certain mutational levels. In addition, the methylation levels in the NSCLC, LUAD and LUSC tissues significantly increased [NSCLC: fold change (FC), 1.3226; P<0.001; LUAD: FC, 1.2712; P<0.001; and LUSC: FC, 1.3786; P<0.001]. According to the analyses using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), we found that the co-expression HOXA3 genes were mainly associated with the focal adhesion signalling pathway and the ECM-receptor interaction signalling pathway. Furthermore, the predicted miRNA, miR-372-3p, exhibited a high expression in both the NSCLC and LUAD tissues (P<0.05). On the whole, the findings of this study indicate that low HOXA3 expression may play a certain role in LUAD; however, its association with LUSC still requires further investigation. HOXA3 function may be achieved through different pathways or target miRNAs. However, the specific underlying mechanisms need to be confirmed through various functional studies.

Abstract
Escherichia coli O157:H7, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella are food-borne pathogens that cause serious gastrointestinal illness and frequent food safety accidents. This study aimed to develop a practical multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) technique for the simultaneous detection of these food-borne pathogens in culture broth and artificial food matrix. Pathogen-specific DNA sequences in the rfbE, nuc, and invA genes were used as targets to design primers for the identification of E. coli O157:H7, S. aureus, and Salmonella, respectively. As expected, the method produced species-specific bands of amplified products without any contaminating non-specific bands. The highest species specificity was established with primer concentrations of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 μM for E. coli O157:H7, S. aureus, and Salmonella, correspondingly. The detection sensitivity of this assay was 103 CFU/mL in culture broth, and the limit of detection was consistent with singleplex PCR in the food sample. The mPCR assay proposed here is an easy and convenient detection method, which will be valuable for microbial epidemiology and food safety investigations.

Abstract
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) strains are foodborne infectious agents that cause a number of life-threatening diseases, including hemorrhagic colitis (HC) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Shiga toxin 1 (stx1), shiga toxin 2 (stx2), or a combination of both are responsible for most clinical symptoms of these diseases. Hence, various diagnostic methods have been developed so far to detect shiga toxins such as cell culture, ELISA, Rapid Latex Agglutination (RPLA) and hybridization, but due to high costs and labor time in addition to low sensitivity, they have not received much attention. The aim of this study was to develop a complete, rapid and reliable multiplex PCR (mPCR) method by using two pairs of specific primers to detect either the stx1 or the stx2 gene confirms the presence of E.coli O157:H7. The study results show that stx1F/stx1R primers are specific for stx1 and primers stx2F/stx2R are specific for stx2 genes in E. coli O157:H7. The mPCR method with two pairs of primers for amplifying the stx1, stx2 target genes to detect E. coli O157:H7 in food has been set up successfully. Complete method performed well in both types of food matrices with a detection limit of 3 CFU/25 g or mL of food samples. Tests on 180 food samples have shown a specificity value of 93.75 % (95 % confidence interval [CI], 82.83–100), a sensitivity of 100 % (95 % CI, 83.79–99.85 %), and an accuracy of 96.66 % (CI 95 %, 83.41–99.91 %). Interestingly, results indicate that the mPCR performed as well as the traditional culture methods and can reduce the diagnosis time to 2 days. Finally, complete mPCR method was applied to natural samples covering a wide variety of food types proving that the mPCR method was a rapid and reliable screening method for detection of E. coli O157:H7 in food and environmental samples.

Abstract
Analyses to ensure food safety and quality are more relevant now because of rapid changes in the quantity, diversity and mobility of food. Food-contamination must be determined to maintain health and up-hold laws, as well as for ethical and cultural concerns. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), a rapid and inexpensive quantitative method to detect the presence of targeted DNA-segments in samples, helps in determining both accidental and intentional adulterations of foods by biological contaminants. This review presents recent developments in theory, techniques, and applications of RT-PCR in food analyses, RT-PCR addresses the limitations of traditional food analyses in terms of sensitivity, range of analytes, multiplexing ability, cost, time, and point-of-care applications. A range of targets, including species of plants or animals which are used as food ingredients, food-borne bacteria or viruses, genetically modified organisms, and allergens, even in highly processed foods can be identified by RT-PCR, even at very low concentrations. Microfluidic RT-PCR eliminates the separate sample-processing step to create opportunities for point-of-care analyses. We also cover the challenges related to using RT-PCR for food analyses, such as the need to further improve sample handling.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate a SYBR Green real time PCR method for the specific detection of Salmonella spp using a novel target, the siiA gene. Primer specificity testing was done on a panel of 76 Salmonella strains and 32 non-Salmonella strains. The primers directed against the siiA gene amplified all Salmonella strains tested, while non-Salmonella strains were not amplified. The melting temperatures of the 107 bp amplicons were consistently specific as they gave melting peaks around 75.5°C. The precision of the assay, based on intra and inter-run variations, was shown to be widely acceptable. In the second part of this study, 45 Salmonella strains were screened for the presence of 6 virulence-associated genes (sopB, cat2, safC, sefB and SC1248) located in several Salmonella Pathogenicity Islands (SPIs) and the spvC gene from the Salmonella virulence plasmid. The prevalence of these genes ranged from 51% to 100%. Variable virulence gene profiles were obtained even within the same serotype.

Abstract
In this study, the complete CoSYPS Path Food workflow including all steps, namely swab sample enrichment, SYBR®Green qPCR detection of Salmonella spp. and Listeria spp., isolation and confirmation of the detected strain, was validated on beef carcass swabs. To perform the validation, the results of the complete workflow were compared, according to the ISO 16140:2003, with the ISO reference methods for detection, isolation and confirmation of Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. The results showed that the relative level of detection and the limit of detection of the complete workflow and ISO reference methods are in a range from 2 to 16 CFU/swab for both bacteria. The relative specificity, sensitivity and accuracy identified during this validation were all 100% since the results obtained with the complete CoSYPS Path Food workflow and the ISO reference methods were identical (Cohen's kappa index=1.00). In addition the complete CoSYPS Path Food workflow is able to provide detection results (negative or presumptive positive) in half the time needed as for the ISO reference methods. These results demonstrate that the performance of the complete CoSYPS Path Food workflow is not only comparable to the ISO reference methods but also provides a faster response for the verification of beef carcasses before commercial distribution.

Abstract
Ion flow across polarized epithelia is a tightly regulated process. Measurement of the transepithelial resistance is a highly relevant parameter for assessing the function or health of the tissue. Dynamic, electrical measurements of transepithelial ion flow are preferred as they provide the most accurate snapshot of effects of external stimuli. Enteric pathogens such as Salmonella typhimurium are known to disrupt ion flow in gastrointestinal epithelia. Here, for the first time, the use of organic transistors as a powerful potential alternative for front-line, disposable, high-throughput diagnostics of enteric pathogens is demonstrated. The transistors' ability to detect early and subtle changes in transepithelial ion flow is capitalized upon to develop a highly sensitive detector of epithelial integrity. Stable operation of the organic devices under physiological conditions is shown, followed by dynamic, pathogen-specific diagnosis of infection of epithelia. Further, operation of the device is possible in complex matrices, showing particular promise for food and safety applications.

Abstract
In this work, a three-level Salmonella detection system based on a combination of seven SYBR®Green qPCR was developed. This detection system discriminates Salmonella at the genus, species and subspecies levels using a single 96-well plate. The SYBR®Green qPCR assays target the invA, rpoD, iroB and safC genes, as well as the STM0296 locus, putatively coding for a cytoplasmic protein. This study includes the design of primer pairs, in silico and in situ selectivity, sensitivity, repeatability and reproducibility evaluations of the seven SYBR®Green qPCR assays. Each detection level displayed a selectivity of 100 %. This combinatory SYBR®Green qPCR system was also compared with three commercially available Salmonella qPCR detection kits. This comparison highlighted the importance of using a multi-gene detection system to be able to detect every target strain, even those with deletion or mutation of important genes.

Abstract
A wide variety of qPCR methods currently exist for Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli O157 and Listeria monocytogenes detection. These methods target several genes and use different detection chemistries, either in simplex or in multiplex formats. However, the majority of these methods have not been carefully validated, and the number of validated methods that use multiplex qPCR is even lower. The aim of the present study was to develop and validate a multiplex qPCR method from previously validated simplex qPCR primers and probes. A modified broth medium was selected and primary and secondary enrichment times were further optimized. Efficiency of the newly combined qPCR system was comprised between 91% and 108%, for simplex and multiplex analyses. A total of 152 food and environmental, natural and spiked samples, were analyzed for the evaluation of the method obtaining values above 91% that were reached for all the quality parameters analyzed. A very low limit of detection (5 cfu/25 g after enrichment) for simultaneous identification of these 3 pathogens was obtained.
