Título: | Evaluation of target sequences for the polymerase chain reaction–based detection of salmonella in artificially contaminated beef |

Abstract: | Salmonella is a major cause of foodborne diseases worldwide, which has fueled the demand for the development and evaluation of sensitive, specific, and rapid detection methodologies, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In this study, six primer pairs for the detection of Salmonella were evaluated by PCR with isolates of Salmonella spp. (115) and other bacteria (104). The primers designed for the sifB gene provided the best performance regarding specificity and sensitivity (100%). These primers were selected and used to develop a PCR assay for Salmonella detection during the enrichment steps of the conventional detection method in spiked beef samples. The enrich- ment steps were: buffered peptone water (BPW), Rappaport-Vassiliadis soya broth (RVS) and at the Mu ̈ller- Kauffmann tetrathionate novobiocin broth (MKTTn), after 18 h (BPW) and 24 h (RVS and MKTTn) of incubation. The initial concentrations of the Salmonella inocula were 10 1 , 10 2 , and 10 3 colony-forming units/25 g. The protocol was able to detect Salmonella at all concentrations in the enrichment steps, but not in the nonenriched samples. These results indicated that the proposed protocol was suitable to detect Salmonella in beef during the intermediate stages of the conventional isolation protocol, substantially reducing the time required to obtain the final results. |
