Rapid detection of salmonellosis on serovar type of piglet with the polymerase chain reaction

중합효소연쇄반응을 이용한 자돈 혈청형에 따른 Salmonellosis의 신속한 검출

Salmonella typhimurium is a causitive agent of diarrhea, fever, gastroenteritis, septicemia and sudden death in piglet. The currently used methods such as IFA, ELISA, DNA hybridization assay is needed a long-time and difficult to detect the organism in carrier animal or contaminated sample with other agents. However, it is important to detect rapidly and sensitively S typhimurium in piglet with other infectious pathogens to minimize an economic loss. Two sets of PCR primer, rfbJ forward primer(5'-AGAATATGTAATTGTCAG-3') and reverse primer(5'-TAACCGTTTCAGTAGTTC-3') were designed to amplify a 882 by fragment of Salmonella serovar type B gene. The target genomic DNA for PCR was extracted from the cultivated materials with various enrichment periods in a nonselective enrichment agar and broth with clinical specimens. The PCR is carried out here made it possible to detect the gene from two hours. Also, the amplified fragment with PCR was cloned into pGEM-T vector and digested with restrict enzyme, and sequenced for the identification of Salmonella serotype B rfbJ gene. Duplicated cultivation agar-broth followed by PCR were performed to develop a rapid and sensitive detection of S typhlmurium based on serovar type. This duplicated cultivation-PCR method provides a sensitive and rapid diagnostic tool to detect Salmonella from infected piglet with improved sensitivity.
