[0197] Food samples (pasteurized orange juice (without pulp), sliced ​​ham luncheon meat, and sliced ​​chicken luncheon meat) were purchased from a local grocery store (Cub Foods (St. Paul, MN)). Separately in sterile Stomacher TM 25 mL of orange juice and 25 grams of each sliced ​​meat were weighed into polyethylene filter bags (PE-LD Model 400, Seward Corp (Norfolk, UK)). The resulting samples were each obtained from an overnight tryptic soybean broth culture (essentially as above based on the title "Concentration Agent Screening: Microorganism Concentration Test Method (Concentration Agent Screening: Microorganism Concentration Test Method)" Prepared as described, except using Bacto TM Salmonella enterica subspecies Salmonella typhimurium (ATCC 35987) and Escherichia coli bacteria (ATCC 51813) were inoculated at a concentration of about 1 CFU / mL from Tryptic Soy Broth (Becton Dickinson (Sparks, MD)).

[0198] After the inoculated samples were incubated at room temperatur...

[0205] Pasteurized apple juice was purchased from a local grocery store (Cub Foods (St. Paul, MN)). 25 mL of apple juice was mixed with 225 mL of sterile Butterfield's Buffer (pH 7.2, VWR (West Chester, PA)) and inoculated with Salmonella enterica subsp. typhimurium (ATCC 35987) at a concentration of approximately 100 CFU / mL. The resulting sample was incubated at room temperature (approximately 23° C.) for 10 minutes and then pumped (essentially as described above) through Form B (TiO 2 - DE) Concentration device (prepared essentially as above) and for 25 minutes. The flow-through sample fraction (1 mL) was collected in labeled sterile 5 mL polypropylene tubes (BD Falcon TM , Becton Dickinson (Franklin Lakes, NJ)) and were plated in 3M according to the manufacturer's instructions TM Petrifilm TM Aerobic Count Plates medium (dry, rehydratable; 3M Company (St. Paul, MN)).

[0206] After the sample has passed through the concentration device, the device is placed (using ste...

[0214] Inoculate 5 mL of BBL with isolated bacterial colonies of Salmonella enterica subspecies Salmonella typhimurium (ATCC 35987) TM Trypticase TM Soy Broth (BBL TM Trypticase TM Soy Broth) (Becton Dickinson (Sparks, MD)) and incubated at 37°C for 18-20 hours. Bring the concentration to about 1 x 10 9 CFU / mL of this overnight culture was diluted in Butterfield's Buffer (pH 7.2 ± 0.2; potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer solution; VWR catalog number 83008-093, VWR (West Chester, PA)) to obtain approximately 1 × 10 3 CFU / mL of inoculum.

[0215] Use about 1×10 3 A 1:100 dilution of the CFU / mL inoculum was inoculated into a 250 mL volume of drinking water (from a drinking fountain) to yield a sample concentration of about 16 CFU / mL (containing a total of about 4000 CFU in a 250 mL sample). The sample was pumped (essentially as described above) through Form A (Fe 2 o 3 - DE) Concentration device (prepared essentially as above) and for 25 minutes. Flow-through sample...

Abstract

A process for capturing or concentrating microorganisms for detection or assay comprises (a) providing a concentration device comprising a sintered porous polymer matrix comprising at least one concentration agent that comprises diatomaceous earth bearing, on at least a portion of its surface, a surface treatment comprising a surface modifier comprising ferric oxide, titanium dioxide, fine-nanoscale gold or platinum, or a combination thereof; (b) providing a sample comprising at least one microorganism strain; and (c) contacting the concentration device with the sample such that at least a portion of the at least one microorganism strain is bound to or captured by the concentration device.

Description

[0001] priority statement [0002] This patent application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 166,262, filed April 3, 2009, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to methods for trapping or concentrating microorganisms so that they remain viable for detection or assay. In other aspects, the invention also relates to concentration devices (and diagnostic kits comprising the same) that can be used to practice such methods and to methods for the manufacture of the devices. Background technique [0004] Foodborne illnesses and hospital-acquired infections caused by microbial contamination are a concern in many parts of the world. Therefore, it is often desirable or necessary to assay for the presence of bacteria or other microorganisms in various clinical samples, food samples, environmental samples or other samples to determine the identity and / or amount of the microorganisms ...
