Analysis of proficiency testing results for pathogenic bacteria in laboratory animal in six years / 中国比较医学杂志

Objective To analyze the result of proficiency testing(PT)of detection activities for Laboratory animal pathogenic bacteria in 2011 and 2013-2017. To further improve the detection capacity of laboratory animal testing agency,and promote PT to be carried out in future. Methods During the six years(2011 and 2013 -2017), the National Institutes for Food and Drug Control conducted a total of six(seven projects)PT activities of laboratory animal pathogen bacteria. We analyzed the overall trend and the exposed problems by summarizing the result data of the PT in 6 years. Results A total of 45 laboratories in the country including 20 provinces and cities participated in the PT. The PT projects included Mycoplasma pulmonis, Clostridium piliformis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp.,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Bordetella bronchiseptica. The satisfaction rates were 75%,87.5%,80.0%, 78.6%,93.3,96.2% and 88.0%, respectively. The main reasons of unsatisfactory results were for lack of incubation time,select errors of suspicious bacteria, biochemical identification errors, report writing errors and not timely feedback results. Conclusions The level of domestic laboratory animal pathogenic bacteria detection is gradually increased to achieve the desired goal through continuous proficiency testing activities.

Teaching Discussion on Experimental Pathogenic Bacteria-detection Training for Food Quality and Safety Undergraduate Students / 微生物学通报

Teaching principles and class content were stated for a experimental course of common pathogenic bacteria detection methods for the undergraduate student in food quality and safety major. They include course material preview, advanced teaching methods, combination of teaching and research, graduate teaching assistant, experimental reports writing and experimental skills evaluation. All these means lead to a good teaching outcome.

Study on Detection of Five-kinds of Pathogenic Bacteria in Drinking Water by Multiplex-PCR / 微生物学通报

The five kinds of food-borne pathogenic bacteria including Salmonella sp.、Shigella sp.、Pseudomonas aeruginosa、Eterohaemorrhagic O157 and Vibrio rahaemolyticus that couldn't be detected in drinking water. The five pairs of primers were designed and composed according to the toxin genes, high-conservative genes and specific genes of these pathogens. The specificity of individual primer pairs in PCR was evaluated on DNA templates of more than thirty different bacterial isolates from ten species. Through optimizing the system and condition of multioplex-PCR, the detection sensitivity was improved dramatically. Multiplex-PCR analysis was primary performed on several water samples. The method established shortened the detection time and provided a cost-effective way in maximum. The experiment showed the multiplex-PCR using the five pairs of primers produced specific amplicons of expected sizes, the detection limits for the bacterial targets were estimated at 10~(1)~10~(2)cfu for one essay. It only took five to six hours to detect a sample, got the single, steady and clear result when the method was applied primarily in the analysis of water samples. The informative supplement to those areas which were environmental inspection, water detection, food sanitation supervision , commodity inspection and detection, etc.
