Improvement of immunomagnetic separation for Escherichia coli O157:H7 detection by the PickPen magnetic particle separation device.
Conventional immunomagnetic separation (IMS) procedures, which use an external magnetic source to capture magnetic particles against the side of a test tube, are labor-intensive and can have poor sensitivity for the target organism because of high background microflora that is not effectively washed away during the IMS process. This report compares the conventional IMS procedure to a new IMS pr...
متن کاملPrevalence of Escherichia coli O157:H7 on dairy farms in Shiraz, Iran by immunomagnetic separation and multiplex PCR
To identify the reservoirs of shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157, sensitive detection andisolation methods are necessary. The sensitivity of traditional culture methods can be improved significantlyby the inclusion of an immunoconcentration step, resulting in less false-negative results. In this study,enrichment procedure and immunomagnetic separation (IMS) were compared for use in con...
متن کاملImmunomagnetic separation and DNA hybridization for detection of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in a piglet model.
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains were detected by stool blot hybridization assays using different oligonucleotide probes for the colonization fimbrial antigen F4, heat-stable enterotoxin I (ST I), and heat-labile enterotoxin (LT I) genes. Forty-eight fecal samples and seven samples of intestinal content from ETEC-challenged newborn piglets were processed in two ways: (i) by direc...
متن کاملDevelopment of an immunomagnetic separation method for efficient enrichment of Escherichia coli O157:H7
Immunomagnetic separation uses antibody-coated paramagnetic particles to selectively bind and purify the target organisms from a comprehensive range of complex food matrices. Aim of this study was to develop and optimize an immunomagnetic separation method based on monoclonal antibody for efficient isolation of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in food samples. The key parameters for preparing the immun...
متن کاملSensitive detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in food and water by immunomagnetic separation and solid-phase laser cytometry.
Rapid, direct methods are needed to assess active bacterial populations in water and foods. Our objective was to determine the efficiency of bacterial detection by immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and the compatibility of IMS with cyanoditolyl tetrazolium chloride (CTC) incubation to determine respiratory activity, using the pathogen Escherichia coli O157:H7. Counterstaining with a specific fluo...
