Abstract
The objective of the project is to develop rapid PCR method for simultaneous detection of Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes in foods. Standard methods according to ISO 6579 and ISO 11290 and their analytical parameters: detection limit of 1 cfu/25 g, 0 % false negativity and false positivity are bases for PCR method. Developed PCR method will have equivalent analytical parameters as standard methods. It will require 2 – 4 days less time to achieve results and will simultaneously detect two pathogens, so it would contribute to food safety. PCR method will be optimised on model samples and will include enrichment, DNA preparation and PCR performance. PCR method will be evaluated mostly on naturally contaminated food samples in research laboratory and in laboratory that performs official health control of foods.
