Enterobacter sakazakii is all emerging pathogen that causes meningitis, bacteremia, sepsis, and necrotizing enterocolitis in nconates and children. Powdered milk-based infant formulas have been associated with the E. sakazakii-related outbreaks in premature or other immunocompromised infants. In this study, we developed two real time PCR assays using TaqMan and SYBR Green to identify the pathogen after selective enrichment in mLST and BHI. The accuracy of two detections was tested by 35 strains of E. sakazakii and 88 non-E sakazakii bacterial strains. The results showed that all of these E. sakazakii strains were positive reaction to the detections and all of the non-E. sakazakii strains were negative. The newly developed assays enable us to detect 1.1 CFU/100 g infant formula. And both of the assays can be accomplished within 2 business days. Compared to the traditional detection, the real time PCR procedures are quicker and simpler. In this study, we also developed a new method to design the primers, which can support multiple real time PCR with one pair of primers in SYBR Green detection. The detection methods are more sensitive and effective based on Two-Tm-Value of PCR. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.. All rights reserved.
