Listeria monocytogenes is widely present in the natural environment. This bacteria can cause infections in both humans and animals. In humans, the most vulnerable groups to be infected with L. monocytogenes are the elderly, people with an impaired immune system and chronically illness, pregnant women, and newborn babies. The aim of this study was to develop a multiplex PCR assay for the rapid detection of L. monocytogenes in mock clinical samples. A pair of primers were designed for detection of L. monocytogenes based on prs, a Listeria genus specific gene, and hly, a hemolysin gene. The specificity of the primers were tested by using different L. monocytogenes strains and other common pathogenic bacteria. The results showed that L. monocytogenes strains were positive in the detection and other tested strains were negative in mock (spiked) clinical samples. The sensitivity of multiplex PCR assay was 102 CFU/ml per reaction. The specificity and sensitivity of multiplex PCR technology for detecting L. monocytogenes in mock (spiked) clinical samples were high, and the assay could be completed within 1.5 hours. Therefore, this established multiplex PCR provides a rapid and reliable method and will be useful for the detection of L. monocytogenes in mock clinical samples.

The ABO blood group is clinically the most important blood group system. Elucidation of the molecular basis of the ABO polymorphism allows genotype determination without family studies. Described here is a new method based on the simultaneous amplification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of 3 fragments from exon 6, and 5′ and 3′ ends of exon 7 of the ABO gene, followed by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. This multiplex PCR-SSCP protocol allows the well-established base changes at 9 nucleotide positions 261, 297, 467, 526, 646, 657, 681, 1059, and 1096 to be assayed simultaneously so that 7 common alleles (A1, A1v, A2, B, O1, O1v, and O2) can be distinguished in a single-tube single-lane format. Each allele was characterized by a set of 3 haplotype-specific SSCP patterns. Chinese (n = 125) and white European (n = 98) samples were analyzed, and their genotypes were found consistent with the serologic phenotypes or could be deduced unambiguously. Fifteen samples (2 Chinese and 13 white European) were each found carrying at least 1 rare allele. Most of these alleles were new and some might be generated by intragenic recombination. This technique is the simplest, quickest, and most informative method reported to date and also readily identifies new alleles.
