Abstract
In this study, we investigated the possibility of Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) for detection of foodborne pathogens. ddPCR combines partitioning of PCR reactions into several thousands or millions of individual droplets in a water-oil emulsion, and counting of positive PCR reaction using flow cytometry. Four species of foodborne pathogens, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Typhimurium and Escherichia coli O157:H7, were used to quantify the target sequence with each of the designed primers and double stranded DNA-binding Evagreen dye. All tested foodborne pathogens showed a detection limit ranging from $100fg/{\mu}L$ to $10ng/{\mu}L$. It was concluded that ddPCR could be used to detect very low concentrations of foodborne pathogens from complex food matrices. For multi-detection of target pathogens, we also tested the samples using multiplex ddPCR and obtained successful results.
