| Abstract | Three important foodborne pathogens, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus are of major concern for food safety in terms of frequency and seriousness of the disease. The occurrence these three important pathogens and their coexistence in food matrices are predominant. Moreover, symptoms associated with B. cereus and S. aureus food poisoning not only closely resembles each other but can also be overlapping with other foodborne infections. In this context, detection of these three pathogens simultaneously in food samples by a single multiplex PCR (mPCR) would have advantages in terms of rapidity and cost saving, when compared with single organism specific PCRs. mPCR has been standardized by targeting three major diarrheal enterotoxin genes hbl A, cyt K and nhe A of B. cereus, virulence associated nuc and Ent B genes of S. aureus and virulence associated hly and iap genes of L. monocytogenes along with internal amplification control (IAC). The results showed that mPCR accurately identified all the three organisms individually or in combination without non-specificity. The mPCR was able to detect as low as 10 to 100 organisms per ml of growth following overnight enrichment of spiked food samples (vegetable biriyani and milk) and their presence in naturally contaminated samples also. The high throughput and cost effective multiplex PCR method developed in this study could provide a powerful tool for simultaneous, rapid and reliable detection of B. cereus, S. aureus and L. monocytogenes in food samples. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
