摘要
E. coli O157:H7 is one of the most important foodborne pathogen that causes some human illnesses such as bloody diarrhea, hemolytic-uremic syndrome, and kidney failure. We developed a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay with six special primers that target a highly specific 299-bp region of the 23276 gene for the detection of E. coli O157:H7. Among 117 bacterial strains tested in this study, positive results were only obtained from E. coli O157:H7 strains. The sensitivity level of the Z3276 LAMP assay was determined to be 5 CFU/reaction tube in pure bacterial culture. Moreover, the LAMP assay was successfully applied to artificially contaminated ground beef with a sensitivity level of 10(3) CFU/mL without pre-enrichment and 10 CFU/mL after a 4-h pre-enrichment. In conclusion, the present LAMP assay would be a useful and powerful tool for the rapid, sensitive, and specific diagnosis of E. coli O157:H7 strains in resource limited laboratories.
