Abstract
Testing for bioluminescent pyrophosphate is a convenient method of DNA detection without complex equipments, but it is insufficiently sensitive and offers no particular time advantage over other rapid detection methods. The shortcomings of the traditional bioluminescent pyrophosphate method have been addressed by using 2‐deoxyadenosine‐5‐(α‐thio)‐triphosphate (dATPαS) instead of dATP for LAMP, thus reducing the high background signal and generating a constant background value. In this study, LAMP coupled to a novel bioluminescent pyrophosphate assay was developed to detect E. coli O157:H7. The new method has a limit of detection of < 10 copies/μL or 5 CFU/mL; its sensitivity is higher than that of the conventional LAMP assay. Moreover, a food‐borne pathogen can be detected when a single DNA template is included in the LAMP assay, making it 100 times more sensitive than the traditional LAMP method. Three hundred food samples were tested with this assay and the accuracy of detection was verified with a culture method and MALDI Biotyper. The assay only took 90–120 minutes and detected < 10 copies of the pathogen. This method had the advantages of rapidity, sensitivity, and simplicity, so it is very competitive for the rapid and highly sensitive detection of food‐borne pathogens.
