Abstract:

Pseudomonas cocovenenans contaminates a variety of foods including fermented rice and noodles. It produces two toxins that cause severe food poisoning, which threatens human health. Based on digital PCR technology, the quantitative method targeting to P. cocovenenans was established. It demonstrated good specificity and repeatability. The detection limit in polluted glutinous rice soup was 361 CFU/mL. Compared with plate counting method, the detection time was shortened obviously via the digital PCR quantitative method, which was conducive to the rapid and accurate measurement of P. cocovenenans. Thus, it may be applied in the fields of food safety monitoring and poisoning analysis in the future.

Key words: Pseudomonas cocovenenans, food poisoning, digital PCR, plate counting, quantitative detection
