Food poisoning became one of the most important diseases that threaten to human health. Among all the food-borne pathogens, Salmonella is the most common cause of food-borne infectious disease in the world. Among over 2500 serovars, Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis is a common foodborne pathogen associated with human diseases. Limited and time consuming diagnostic techniques such as culturing method or polymerase chain reaction lead to increase in the demands of new detection methods. Therefore, in this study we used Cell-SELEX to find DNA aptamers that bind and recognize S. Enteritidis as a sensing element and applied them to construct aptamer based sandwich type detection platform. Selection was finished at round 12 of SELEX and three sequences were determined as candidate aptamers for further studies. Among them, crn-1 and crn-2 showed high specificity and affinity against S. Enteritidis with Kd of 0.971 x 10-6 M and 0.309 x 10-6 M, respectively. The construction of aptamer based sandwich type platform was optimized with the use of S. aureus aptamer (SA-31). The optimum parameters were found as 10 µM capturing aptamer, 10 µM signaling aptamer, washing at 10 µL/sec injection speed and 5% of BSA as surface blocker. Aptamers for S. Enteritidis were then applied to platform with these optimum parameters. The detection limits of crn-1 and crn-2 based platforms were 103 CFU/mL. The response of detection platforms were evaluated for samples at 4ºC and 37ºC. It was observed that crn-1 based platform gave responses only at 4ºC, while crn-2 based platform responded at 4ºC and 37ºC.

Development of nucleic acid based lateral flow immunochromatographic test platform for salmonella detection Bulut, Onur; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biology (2014) Foodborne diseases have been a crucial problem for the public health. Various agents transmitted by food cause these diseases. However, Salmonella accounts for most of the cases leading to most of the hospitalization and even death. Therefore, rapid detection of Salmonella is a considerable step in order to improve food safety and minimize outbreaks. Nucleic acid based biosensors are fast, simple, economic, easy-to-use and do not require trained personnel or high-cost equipments when compared to the current...
Virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes transfer mechanism between Salmonella Strains by means of Salmonella Genomic Island 1 Namlı, Şahin; Soyer, Yeşim; Department of Food Engineering (2018) Salmonella, is responsible for significant part of the food borne diseases around the world and isolated abundantly from the food samples. In recent years, with the increasing trend of multidrug-resistance, Salmonella become an important threat for public health. Drug resistance leads inefficiency of antibiotic treatment and it is seemed as a very important problem worldwide as well for Turkey. Drug resistance acceptance mechanism has not been understood yet especially for Salmonella. Salmonella Genomic Isl...
Isolation and Characterization of Salmonella Bacteriophages DENİZ, Aysu; Soyer, Yeşim; Department of Food Engineering (2022-2-03) Numerous foodborne infections and outbreaks are associated with Salmonella which makes it a challenge in terms of human health and economy. Therefore, reducing the prevalence of Salmonella in food and food processing areas is of great importance. Antibiotics are the substances that are commonly used in various stages of food production in order to fight against Salmonella. However, concerns related with the antibiotic use like antibiotic resistance give rise to pursuit of safer methods to eliminate Salmonel...
Development of rapid dipstick assay for food pathogens, Salmonella, by optimized parameters Çam, Dilek; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-10-25) Salmonella is among the very important pathogens threating the human and animal health. Rapid and easy detection of these pathogens is crucial. In this context, antibody (Ab) based lateral flow assays (LFAs) which are simple immunochromatographic point of care test kits were developed by gold nanoparticles (GNPs) as labelling agent for Salmonella detection. For that purpose some critical parameters such as reagent concentrations on the capture zones, conjugate concentrations and ideal membrane type needed f...
Antibacterial activity of cinnamon oil against multidrug-resistant Salmonella serotypes and anti-quorum sensing potential Kiymaci, Merve Eylul ; Kaşkatepe, Banu ; Soyer, Yeşim (2022-01-01) The antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella and other foodborne pathogenic bacteria, witnessed in recent years, has become a significant health concern. Bacteria use chemical signals to communicate each other and regulate their behavior including virulence. Due to increasing antibiotic resistance, new drug development strategies are being investigated and the use of active ingredients of various medicinal and aromatic plants as alternatives to antibiotics is tested. This study aimed to determine the anti-quo...
