Evaluation of a rapid coliform detection kit from clinical mastitis milk using colloidal gold nanoparticle-based immunochromatographic strips.

ABSTRACT: The accurate identification of mastitis-causing bacteria assists in effective management by both dairy farmers and veterinarians and can be used to implement the selective use of antimicrobials for treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of our developed anti-ribosomal protein-L7/L12 antibody-coated immunochromatographic strip (ICS) test to detect coliforms in milk by comparing the results with the bacteriological culture method. We investigated the performance of the ICS test as compared with the bacteriological culture method using 308 milk samples from clinical bovine mastitis. First, to determine the optimal ICS test cutoff point for detecting coliform mastitis, we developed a receiver-operating characteristic curve. The result showed that the cutoff point was at 0.5 of our index. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value of the ICS test were 81.3%, 84.8%, 69.2%, and 91.54%, respectively. As the clinical signs increased in severity, the F-measure, a weighted harmonic mean of the sensitivity and overall PPV performance, increased. Because it is especially important to treat clinical mastitis appropriately in the early stages of detection, the ICS test, which can be used by both dairy farmers and veterinarians on dairy farms, is considered to be a useful tool for detecting coliform mastitis, which often presents with severe signs.

Project description:Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is an important swine infectious pathogen that seriously threatens the global swine industry. PCV2 Cap protein is the only structural and the main immunogenic protein constituting the viral capsid. In this study, a gold nanoparticle-based immunochromatographic strip with high sensitivity and specificity was developed which could be used for rapid detection of PCV2 virions or Cap protein in research. The visual detection limit of the strip was 103.18 50% tissue culture infective does (TCID50)/mL for PCV2, and 2.03 μg/mL for PCV2 Cap protein. No cross-reactivity was observed with the PCV1 and PCV3 Cap proteins and other common swine pathogens such as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, classical swine fever virus, pseudorabies virus, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, porcine parvovirus, and swine influenza virus. The repeatability of the strip was good. The stability of the strip was perfect for 12 months in a dry state at room temperature. Visual results could be obtained within 5 min by simply inserting the strip into the diluted sample. The strip is a time-saving, labor-saving, and reliable tool for testing of PCV2 virions or Cap protein in research. The idea of this study might open a new perspective for the application of the strip. IMPORTANCE Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) Cap protein is the only structural and the main immunogenic protein constituting the viral capsid. Although many methods can be used to identify PCV2 or PCV2 Cap protein in vaccine research, they usually require high workload and time. The developed strip can specifically detect PCV2 virions or Cap protein, and visual qualitative results can be obtained within 5 min by simply diluting the sample and inserting the strip into the sample. The final value of the strip is providing a simple and time-saving method for real-time monitoring of PCV2 antigen in vaccine research with reliable results, such as the different stages of PCV2 Cap protein expression and purification, as well as the different stages of PCV2 reproduction and purification.
