RESUMO
A PCR method was developed to detect spores of Bacillus sporothermodurans in 1, 10, and 100 ml of raw milk. Two primers were derived from a unique sequence after subtractive hybridization of B. sporothermodurans DNA with DNA of MB 397, a not yet identified spore-forming bacterium isolated from raw milk, closely related to B. sporothermodurans. Specific identification was proven on a large collection of Bacillus strains and on strains from relevant taxa. The detection of B. sporothermodurans in raw milk is based on activation, germination, and outgrowth of the spores, followed by PCR identification. Spores from 10 and 100 ml were concentrated by centrifugation after chemical extraction of the milk components. The total test takes 28 h. The detection limits are 9, 0.4, and 0.22 CFU/ml for 1, 10, and 100 ml, respectively.
