摘要

Standard health-related microbial water testing relies on the culturability ofEscherichia coli?(E. coli) to?estimate their numbers. Competitive PCR (c-PCR) offers the potential to estimate the?E. coli?level of a water source without culturing. The aim was to investigate the use of c-PCR reaction to detect and quantify, without prior enrichment,?Escherichia coli?in water samples. The?E. coli?malate dehydrogenase?Mdh?house-keeping gene was modified and used as an internal control and competitor DNA for the c-PCR.?E. coli?cell concentration equivalents ranging from 20 to 2 x 104?cells ml-1?could be quantified with the c-PCR. Fifty-three water samples from various sources were tested with the DNA extraction and c-PCR protocol. Due to PCR inhibition?E. coli?Mdh?gene copies could only be determined for 20 of the 53 samples (38%).?Of the 20 samples tested 15% gave comparable results for competitive PCR and culturable?E. coli?numbers; 55% obtained higher values with competitive PCR and 30% obtained higher values with the culture based experiments.?The c-PCR successfully estimated?E.?coli?numbers that gave comparable results with the culture based microbiological data obtained.
