Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect a specified bacterium in a food quickly and conveniently by touching a target bacterium to an insoluble particle sensitizing a specifically bonded antibody and detecting aggregation produced through antigen-antibody reaction. SOLUTION: A sample liquid is mixed with a suspension of antibody sensitized particle and touched each other to cause antigen-antibody reaction. An aggregation thus produced is detected visually or through an optical means. In order to clarify the aggregation, the particles aggregated through antigen- antibody reaction are discriminated. When magnetic particles are employed as insoluble particles, the particles are captured (collection of bacteria) and suspended again in an appropriate solution, e.g. phosphoric acid butter, before detecting the aggregation. When a latex, e.g. polystyrene, is employed as insoluble particles, aggregated particles are filtered and collected and then suspended again in an appropriate solution before detecting the aggregation.

Microbial tests in foods are roughly divided into two directions. One of them is a total bacterial count test for the purpose of knowing the degree of contamination, and the other is a test for determining the presence or absence of food poisoning causative bacteria, that is, specific bacteria. For the detection of specific bacteria, as described in the Food Sanitation Inspection Guideline "Microbial Edition" supervised by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the food may contain not only so-called food poisoning bacteria but also microorganisms other than those regulated. Therefore,
For specific bacteria testing, it is necessary to carry out separation culture using a separation medium in which the target bacteria grow selectively to some extent, and operations to determine the bacterial species based on biochemical and serological tests in addition to the colonies suspected to be the target bacteria. is there. When a small amount of pathogenic bacteria is contaminated, it is necessary to further perform preculture in a liquid medium before the separation culture. For example, when Salmonella is detected, the sample is subjected to pre-enrichment culture with EEM broth or the like, followed by enrichment culture with SBG medium or the like, and then separate culture with MLCB agar medium or the like. At this point, about the village suspected to be contaminated by Salmonella,
Further, confirmation culture is performed using TSI agar medium or the like, identification is performed using VP semi-fluid medium or the like, and serotype is confirmed with commercially available serum. The inspection process so far requires a long time of 5 days or more.

In the present invention, the pathogenic microorganisms in the food may be present in a trace amount or damaged as compared with the degree of contamination of general bacteria such as coliforms. The agglutination reaction can be performed after increasing the number of bacteria (for example, in the examination of Salmonella, pre-enrichment culture is performed as necessary). That is, even if the degree of contamination is extremely small, it is necessary to detect them.
Therefore, in order to increase the reliability of the test result, it is preferable to pre-incubate the specimen sample in an enrichment medium suitable for the bacteria to be detected, increase the number of bacteria, and then perform the agglutination reaction with the antibody particles. For this enrichment culture, the conventionally used medium species and culture conditions can be used as they are. Needless to say, the medium type and culture conditions differ depending on the target bacteria and can be appropriately selected.

As shown in Table 1, there were 44 positive concordance rates, 55 negative concordance rates, one culture method positive and one negative method according to the present invention, but not the opposite. In addition, one inconsistent sample was identified as Salmonella as a result of biochemical and serological tests. Therefore, in the method of the present invention, although only one example could not be detected accurately, the concordance rate between the culture method 1 and the method of the present invention was 99%, which was a satisfactory result. Furthermore, the sensitivity was 97.8% and the specificity was 100%. From the above results, the method of the present invention can lead to the detection of the agglutination system by simply performing the pre-enrichment culture and the enrichment culture, and is comparable to the culture method without performing the necessary isolation culture and confirmation culture. It is possible to obtain accuracy. Further, in the present invention, salmonella could be sufficiently detected even if only pre-enrichment culture was carried out and this was introduced into the detection system. Furthermore, in the case of a sufficiently large number of bacteria, there was also a sample capable of detecting Salmonella even if the wash-out solution was directly introduced into the detection system.

In addition to commercially available chicken, the same test was conducted on Salmonella in liquid egg, and Salmonella could be detected accurately. In addition, as for bacteria causing food poisoning other than Salmonella, the target bacterium can be easily detected only by changing the antibody (adding a process for culturing the bacterium of the target bacterium by known means if necessary). .

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described above, a product obtained by washing out a food or a simple pre-enrichment is used as a sample and directly identified by an agglutination method using antibody-sensitized insoluble particles (for example, magnetic particles or latex). The method of the present invention for detecting bacteria has a sensitivity comparable to the method that has been conventionally performed through a large number of culture steps. In addition, a sufficiently satisfactory matching rate was obtained, and the specificity was also good. Furthermore, the rapidity of obtaining the results of the presence or absence of bacterial contamination can be significantly shortened, and even if pre-enrichment culture and selective enrichment culture are used together, it will be judged on the next day after the start of the test. The result is obtained.
