Escherichia albertiiis an emerging enteropathogen. Several foodborne outbreaks ofE. albertiihave been reported in Japan; however, foods associated with most outbreaks remain unidentified. Therefore, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays detectingE. albertiispecifically and sensitively are required. Primers and probe for real-time PCR assays targetingE. albertii-specific gene (EA-rtPCR) was designed. With 74 strains, including 43E. albertiistrains and several of its close relatives, EA-rtPCR specifically amplifiedE. albertii; therefore, the sensitivity of EA-rtPCR was then evaluated. The detection limits were 2.8 and 2.0–3.2 log colony-forming unit (CFU)/mL forE. albertiiculture and enriched chicken culture inoculated with the pathogen, respectively. In addition,E. albertiiwas detected from 25 g of chicken meat inoculated with 0.1 log CFU of the pathogen by EA-rtPCR. The detection ofE. albertiifrom chicken meat by EA-rtPCR was also evaluated by comparing with the nested-PCR assay, and 28 retail chicken meat and 193 dissected body parts from 21 chicken carcass were tested. One and three chicken meat were positive in the nested-PCR assay and EA-rtPCR, respectively. Fourteen carcasses had at least one body part that was positive for EA-rtPCR, and 36 and 48 samples were positive for the nested-PCR assay and EA-rtPCR, respectively. A total of 37 strains ofE. albertiiwere isolated from seven PCR-positive samples obtained from six chicken carcass. AllE. albertiiisolates harboredeaegene, and were classified asE. albertiiO-genotype (EAOg)3 or EAOg4 by EAO-genotyping. The EA-rtPCR developed in this study has potential to improveE. albertiidetection in food and advance research onE. albertiiinfection.
