CONEIRMATION COMMITMENT I hereby declare that this research is my own work. The data, information, and results contained in the thesis are guaranteed to be accurate and truthful. Full name: Hoang Gia Lam Class: DH18SHD Student code: 18126074 Number phone: +84972008750 Email: 18126074@st.vn ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to built a mPCR procedure for detection of presence of the Salmonella spp. Typhimurium in swiftlet house environments and simultaneously identify the virulence gene of Salmonella (fimA and stn).
Ninety samples were collected from Dong Nai, Binh Duong provinces and Ho Chi Minh City, after these samples were isolated and identified by m-PCR assay. The multiplex PCR procedure was built on two pairs of specific primers that were designed to detect the conserved sequence of the invA gene on Sa/monella genus and the fliC gene on S. Typhimurium serovar, with products of 605 bp and 432 bp, respectively. Through isolation, the suspected-Salmonella positive samples were 29/90 (32.
The results for optimizing showed that the mPCR procedure was performed with pre-denaturation at 95°C for 5 min, followed by repetition of 35 cycles including denaturation at 95° C for 30 sec, annealing at 56°C for 30 sec, extension at 72°C for 45 sec, and final extension at 72°C for 7 min. The ratios of primer concentration was 1:1 (0.2 uM) and mPCR had strongly specific with DNA target. The detection limit of mPCR was 10” ng/ul for DNA targets. After that the optimized mPCR was then used to analyze 90 field samples (67 feces and 23 nest surface swab samples), and the results showed that 6/90 (6.67%) were positive for Salmonella and 3/90 (3.33%) were positive for S.
Finally, for the investigation of two virulence genes, s/n and fimA, using six positive samples for Salmonella, the results showed that the bands of size corresponded to these two genes with a detection rate of 100%. It’s indicated that the mPCR can be used in routine diagnostics of these pathogens and did that Salmonella exist Salmonella in swiftlet houses.
