Abstract:
The present application describes compositions, methods and kits for rapid detection and identification of various microorganisms using inducible RNA. Methods for rapidly detecting microorganisms by detecting expression of inducible RNA of target genes following induction of a target gene using an inducer are described. Some embodiments describe methods and workflows for rapidly detecting microbes such as, but not limited to, Salmonella spp, Listeria spp. and Vibrio spp. Compositions and kits comprise primer nucleic acid sequences having hybridization specificity for priming amplification of genes of microorganisms (or gene fragments) that are responsive to one or more RNA-inducing agents. In some embodiments, kits and compositions further comprise probe nucleic acid sequences having hybridization specificity for genes responsive to RNA-inducing agents or fragments thereof.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure relate to compositions of isolated nucleic acid sequences, methods, workflows and kits of use thereof for detection of Salmonella enterica , subspecies enterica, serovar Enteritidis ( S . Enteritidis) in a sample, particularly in a food (egg, poultry) or environmental sample (including poultry-related environmental samples). Embodiments of the disclosure may also be used to differentially detect S. Enteritidis without cross-reacting with S. Paratyphi C or other closely related Salmonella species. In some embodiments, methods and kits of the disclosure may comprise a TaqMan® assay. Following sample enrichment, methods of detection may be completed in approximately 3 hours.
Abstract:
The present teachings generally relate to methods and kits incorporating a discriminating positive control for determining whether a particular microorganism or group of microorganisms are present in a sample, for example but not limited to a food, environmental, agricultural, biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical, or water sample. According to certain methods, at least part of a starting material, for example but not limited to, a food, environmental, agricultural, biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical, or water sample can be combined with a culture medium and incubated under conditions suitable for microbial growth followed by extracting microorganism and added control nucleic acids for analysis. The extracted nucleic acids are amplified and the amplified nucleic acids are detected, directly or indirectly, and the fidelity of the methods and the presence or absence of the corresponding microorganism is determined because the discriminating positive control provides both confirmatory results for the methods used but eliminates false positive results.
Abstract:
Disclosed are compositions, assays, methods, diagnostic methods, kits and diagnostic kits for the specific and differential detection of a non-Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (non-MAP) organism, wherein a non-MAP organism is a Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) organism that does not belong to the Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) organism, from samples including veterinary samples, clinical samples, food samples, forensic sample, an environmental sample (e.g., soil, dirt, garbage, sewage, air, or water), including food processing and manufacturing surfaces, or a biological sample. Exemplary non-MAP organisms including M. avium subsp. avium (MAA), M. avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH), and M. avium subsp. silvaticum (MAS) can be detected by the present compositions, kits and methods.
Abstract:
The present specification describes several novel SNPs of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica. SNP profiles comprising allelic compositions at each SNP position are described which may be used to identify and differentiate different strains and serovars of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica. The specification also describes several compositions, methods and kits useful for identifying and differentially distinguishing strains and serovars of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure relate to isolated nucleic acid sequences, methods of use thereof, and workflows for detection of several Listeria species in a sample, particularly in a food or environmental sample. Embodiments of the disclosure may also be used to detect one or more species or strains of Listeria from each other, for example L. grayi may be detected independently of other Listeria spp . Some embodiments also describe a duplexed assay that can detect L. monocytogenes, L. innocua, L. welshimeri, L. seelgeri, L. marthii (formerly incertae-sedis), L. ivanovii, and L. grayi . Kits for detection of Listeria are also described. In some embodiments, methods and kits of the disclosure may comprise a TAQMAN® assay. In some embodiments, 0.2-2 cfu of Listeria spp. are detected using the compositions, methods and kits after a 24-28 hour enrichment period.
