RESUMO
Rapid detection of salmonellae in chicken meat was accomplished by using the magnetic immuno-polymerase chain reaction assay (MIPA). A direct polymerase chain reaction assay performed with chicken meat spiked with Salmonella typhimurium resulted in poor sensitivity (approximately 10(7) CFU/g of meat). The use of immunoseparation with a Salmonella serogroup B-specific monoclonal antibody improved the sensitivity, but enrichment was required for the detection of low levels of contamination. Enrichment for 6 h in either buffered peptone water, lactose broth containing tergitol-7, or selenite-cystine broth resulted in the detection of an initial inoculum of 100 CFU per g of meat. Enrichment of the salmonellae present on 25 g of spiked chicken meat for 24 h in either buffered peptone water or selenite-cystine broth before detection by the MIPA yielded a detection limit of approximately 0.1 CFU/g of meat. A detection limit of approximately 1 CFU/g of meat was obtained when the spiked meat was stored at -20 degrees C before enrichment for 24 h and analysis with the MIPA. Although the MIPA was developed for S. typhimurium, a MIPA in which a panel of six monoclonal antibodies specific for Salmonella serogroups A through E was used detected the presence of 0.1 CFU of Salmonella enteritidis per g of chicken meat. These data indicate that the method is applicable to other commonly isolated serotypes.
