Abstract A second generation nucleic acid hybridization assay has been developed and evaluated against the conventional culture method for detection of salmonellae In foods. The assay Involves a liquid hybridization with Sa/mone/fo-speclflc oligonucleotide probes, capture of probe:target hybrids onto a solid support (plastic dipstick), and a colorimetric end point detection. The assay can be completed In 2.5 h, following approximately 44 h of culture enrichment. One thousand samples representing 20 food types were analyzed in parallel by both methods. Samples Included unlnoculated test product, and product Inoculated with Salmonella at 2 levels. Eighteen Salmonella serotypes were used as Inocula. The data demonstrate that the colorlmetric hybridization method and the conventional culture method are equivalent In their ability to detect Salmonella contamination of foods.

Abstract A nucleic acid hybridization assay has been developed for Listeria spp. in dairy foods and environmental samples. The assay is based on detection of unique Listeria 16S rRNA sequences by using a 32Plabeled synthetic DNA probe. Inclusivity and exclusivity of the probe were confirmed with 139 Listeria isolates representing all known species, and 73 non-Listeria bacterial strains. In this paper, we present results from our preliminary studies comparing the hybridization assay with conventional culture on a total of 575 specimens that represent a variety of inoculated and uninoculated foods and environmental samples. The assay, which is done in a filter manifold format after 2 days of cultural enrichment, requires a total assay time of less than 2.5 days. The false-negative rate for all sample groups tested using the GENE-TRAK hybridization assay was less than the rate for culture. Thus, the new assay allows rapid screening of the indicated product groups and provides reliable numerical results
