Abstract:
:Listeria monocytogenes continues to be one of the most important foodborne pathogens worldwide, either due to its incidence and/or to its high mortality rate. In the present study, a filtration-based protocol was applied for the screening of viable bacteria. Additionally, a complete method (enrichment, filtration, DNA extraction and real-time PCR detection) was evaluated in order to determine the capacity of this protocol to detect viable L. monocytogenes in food samples. A new multiplex qPCR detection system was designed, including an internal amplification control, both targets were detected with hydrolysis probes. It was demonstrated that the method could reliably detect this pathogen, reaching a limit of detection of 9.5 cfu/25 g. The evaluation of the relative sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive values, as well as the index kappa of concordance obtained values higher than 90.0% after 24 h sample enrichment. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that with a secondary enrichment step, the limit of the detection could be further decreased to 4.6 cfu/25 g without significantly affecting the performance parameters. The present study demonstrates the reliability of the proposed methodology for the detection of viable L. monocytogenes, and the possibility of its direct implementation for routine analyses in the food industry.
