Abstract

For the rapid detection of various pathogenic microorganisms from food sample, various kinds of kits have been developed and commercially available in the markets. With the advantages of speed, accuracy and easiness, the market of these kits has gradually increased for the QC and QA field of food company as well as testing facilities or laboratories. In this study, the characteristics such as the detection limit and the sensitivity of immunochromatographic type of rapid detection kit (Donga Co, Korea, D-kit) for E. coli 0157:H7 developed by monoclonal antibody were examined and also the possibility of application of the kit to food samples was evaluated. The reference kits used for comparison study were Reveal E. coli 0157:H7 (Neogen Co., USA, R-kit) and VIP EHEC kit (Biocontrol Inc., USA, V-kit) occupying major market share. In the detection limit test with the E. coli 0157:H7 reference, both R-kit and D-kit showed a distinct positive reaction in $10^4$/ml and weak positive reaction in $10^3$/ml, whereas V-kit showed a same reaction in 105/ml. Also, it was identified that the culture treated with heat showed more sensitivity than no heat treated culture. The sensitivity test was conducted against 22 isolates of E. coli 0157:H7, 7 strains of non-O157:H7 verotoxin-producing E. coli, 40 strains of E. coli with different O and H antigen type, and 38 strains of non-E. coli Enterobacteriaceae, and all of the test strains except three were showed exactly three were showed exactly the same reaction against three kinds of the tested kits. All the three kinds of kits showed a positive reaction against E. coli O157:H19, E. coli O148:H18 and Salmonella galinarium. We suppose that there might be a similarity in serological property between these three strains and O157:H7. From the test results, it can be concluded that there is (was) no difference between the D-kit developed in this study and R-kit or V-kit based on the detection limit and sensitivity.

식품으로부터 다양한 병원 미생물을 신속 검출하기 위하여 다양한 검출 원리를 이요한 키트들이 개발 시판되고 있다. 검사키트는 신속, 정확하고 간단하게 사용할 수 있으므로 검사기관이나 실험실 뿐 아니라 식품회사에서 QC 또는 QA를 수행하기 위하여 사용이 증가되고 있는 추세이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 E. coli 0157:H7의 단클론항체를 이용하여 면역크로마토글래피법에 의해 개발된 E. coli 0157:H7 검출 키트(Donga Co, Korea, D-kit)에 대한 검출감도 및 특이성을 확인하고 식품 시료에 적용 가능성을 평가하였다. 면역크로마토그래피법에 의하여 개발 시판되고 있는 Reveal E. coli 0157:H7 kit (Neogen Co., USA. R-kit)와 VIP EHEC kit(Biocontro Inc., USA. V-kit)를 비교 키트로 사용하였다. E. coli 0157:H7 표준균주를 사용하여 실시한 검출감도 확인시험 결과 R-kit 및 D-kit는 104/m/의 농도에서 양성으로 확인되었고 $10^3$/ml에서도 약한 양성 반응을 보였으나, V-lit는 $10^5$/ml농도로 검출감도가 낮았다. 또한, 배양액을 가열하여 kit에 적용하는 것이 가열하지 않은 경우보다 검출감도를 높일 수 있었다. E. coli 0157:H7 분리 22주, verotoxin 생성 E. coli 7주 E. coli 분리주 40주 중 3주를 제외한 모든 균에서 음성의 결과를 보여 특이성을 확인하였다. 세 키트에 위양성 반응을 보인 것은 E. coli 0157:H19, E. coli 0148:H18 및 Salmonella gallinarium으로 이들 혈청형과 0157:H7 사이에는 유사한 혈청학적 특성이 존재하는 것으로 추정되었다. 이상의 실험결과로 D-kit는 E. coli 0157:H7을 검출하는데 감도 및 특이성 면에서 기존 키트인 R-kit 및 V-kit와 같이 이용한 것으로 확인되었다.
