description [1]Introduction: Poultry and meat products are the largest sources of non-typhoid salmonella infections in most countries. Studies have shown that raw foods of animal origin, especially poultry and its products, are the main source of contamination of kitchens and restaurants. In terms of growth conditions, these microorganisms are resilient bacteria and easily adapt to their environmental conditions. Salmonella has been known to cause intestinal disease for many years and has been reported as the most important cause of food poisoning. According to Iranian and international standards, there should be no S. enteritidis or S. typhimurium in 25 grams of food. DNA-based methods for the identification and differentiation of Salmonella serovars have been designed and applied using specific primers at the genus and serovar levels. Therefore, they can be used as useful and rapid screening tests, as well as to supplement or replace conventional biochemical and serological tests. Real-time PCR, with the most accurate and reliable results using a fluorescence probe, which of course has a high cost. In this method, sequence specific fluorescence probes are used, and as a result, in the target molecule, screening and determination the presence or even the concentration of specific sequences is possible. Therefore, even in the presence of other types of nucleic acid molecules, the results are obtained quickly and have a high level of specificity. Under these conditions, if specific probes with different florescence dyes are used, even multiple targets can be detected in a single PCR reaction. The aim of this study was to identify S. enteritidis or S. typhimurium by PCR and Salmonella spp. by real time PCR method in poultry products. Material and Method: In total, 45 samples of poultry products, including chicken breast, liver and gizzard (15 samples each) were purchased from different regions of Mashhad and from various companies and transferred to the laboratory in accordance with hygienic standards. For each sample, 25 g of tissue was isolated and homogenized under sterile conditions and DNA extraction was then performed using a DNA extraction kit. The extracted DNA was evaluated by agarose gel electrophoresis. The purity and quantity of DNA extracted from each sample was examined by spectrophotometry method. In the next step, in order to identify the genus Salmonella, the samples were examined by real time PCR. In this method we used an internal control to ensure that negative results are not false negative due to inhibitors. The results of real time PCR showed that out of 45 samples, nine samples were infected with Salmonella. Then, these nine samples were evaluated for Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella enteritidis infection by conventional PCR method. Result and Discussion: The results showed that out of nine samples that were positive in real time PCR test, seven samples were contaminated with Salmonella typhimurium, of which five samples were related to chicken breast and two to liver. Regarding Salmonella enteritidis infection, out of nine samples, only one sample was contaminated, which was related to chicken breast. Conventional methods have been traditionally used to enumerate target bacteria in food. However, these methods have some limitations and require considerable time and labor. Previous studies have already shown that real time PCR is more effective than conventional bacteriological methods for the detection of Salmonella spp. In a study by Whyte et al. (2002) The presence of Salmonella was assessed by traditional culture methods and by a Salmonella-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. Salmonella was recovered from 16% of samples using traditional culture methods. In contrast, the PCR assay proved to be more sensitive and detected Salmonella DNA in 19% of the examined samples (Whyte et al. 2002). Results of PCR with specific primers showed that reactions in real time PCR with general primers of Salmonella spp. were done correctly. Despite of accuracy and speed of real time PCR to detect DNA of microorganisms, further studies are developed to have more advantages. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) showed a higher sensitivity of Salmonella detection in compare to qPCR (Vichaibun & Kanchanaphum, 2020). Although LAMP could detect trace amount of Salmonella DNA but primer design for this reaction is very difficult. However, it is important to highlight that non-viable cells can be detected by real time PCR or other DNA-based methods, which does not occur in traditional methods of culture and isolation that require viable cells for quantification (Zeng et al., 2016).
