Abstract:

In order to accurately and rapidly detect typical pathogenic microorganisms in livestock and poultry manure and reduce the risk of transmission of zoonotic diseases,three common pathogenic bacteria,Staphylococcus aureus,Escherichia coli(O157:H7)and Salmonella enteritidis,were used as the research object. By screening its specific primers and probes as well as optimizing the reaction system,a fast and stable multiplex droplet digital PCR(ddPCR)reaction system was established. The specificity of the system was verified by detecting different strains,the detection limit of pathogenic bacteria in livestock and poultry waste was determined,and a rapid detection method of multiple droplet digital PCR was developed. The results showed that each pair of primers and probes amplified the target strains without cross-reaction in the ddPCR system. The absolute quantitative lower limit of detecting S. enteritidis was 0.68 copies/µL,and that for S. aureus was 0.79 copies/µL,and that for E. coli was 1.02 copies/µL. The high-efficiency and high-precision detection of three typical pathogenic bacteria in livestock and poultry manure may be achieved by the method established in this study.
