Rapid methods for detecting toxin-producing organisms in meat products.

Author(s) : CÓRDOBA J. J.

Summary

Novel techniques, such as polymerase chain reactor (PCR) and DNA probes, are being used as rapid and precise methods for detecting toxin producing organisms. However, these methods have not been adapted to detect these organisms in meat and meat products. In the paper, PCR and/or DNA probe hybridization procedures for detecting C. botulinum and Gram-positive, catalase-positive enterotoxigenic cocci are described. In addition, work on a method to investigate mycotoxigenic Penicillium aurantiogriseum, based in a DNA probe to detect toxin genes, is also reported.
