  1. A Molecular Safety Approach for Campylobacter C AMPYFOOD http//www.CampyFood.org 31 participants will strengthen the bridge between the Nordic food industry, research institutes and universities in the field of microbiological food safety with special focus on campylobacters and/or molecular techniques Project Manager: Peter Rådström, Lund University, Sweden (Coordinator) Country coordinators: Jeffrey Hoorfar, DFVF, Denmark (Deputy coordinator) Elisabeth Borch, SIK, Sweden Knut Rudi, MATFORSK, Norway Sigrun Gumundsdottir, Icelandic Fisheries Lab (IFL), Iceland Marja-Liisa Hänninen, Helsinki University, Finland

  2. C AMPYFOOD Activities We will strengthen ongoing research at the participating laboratories in order to ensure synergy and transfer the technology to the food industry *mobility of research personnel *a project homepage *hands-on demonstrations *newsletters *workshops http//www.CampyFood.org

  3. C AMPYFOOD http//www.CampyFood.org Food safety will be increased by the application of molecular-based techniques II I Virulence expression Rapid methods Clostridium botulinum Salmonella

  4. Botulism – rare but deadly • An intoxication in which 30ng neurotoxin can be lethal • Consumption 0.1g contaminated food can result in botulism • High fatality rate (~10% cases) • 7 serotypes of the neurotoxin on chromosome: types A, B, E, F on bacteriophage: types C, D on plasmid: type G Clostridium botulinum Toxin, 150 kDa

  5. Neurotoxin Formation • Relative expression and quantification of bontB (mRNA) qRT-PCR • BoNT/B production (protein) ELISA • Biological activity of BoNT/B (active toxin) Mouse Bioassay

  6. Virulence expression DNA Virulence factors protein mRNA Environmental factors

  13. Traditional food preservatives (CO2, NaCl and NaNO2) stimulates the neurotoxin formation increasing the risk for food borne botulism LPD= m =b0+b13*[CO2]*[NaNO2]+b22*[NaCl]2+e log(RE)=b0+b11*[CO2]2+b22*[NaCl]2+e

  14. Virulence expression a step towards formulating new strategies for food preservation, predictive modelling and risk assessment. MICROB FOOD HUMAN

  15. EU 6th FP. Area: Food Quality and Safety (5.4.4 Area: Traceability processes along the production chain) T5.4.4.1 Origin and development of unintended micro-organisms in the food and feed chains (IP) The objective is to develop and improve methods for tracing the origin of biological agents contaminating (including as the result of a criminal act) food (also bottled or canned drinking water) and animal feed and to model their development (growth, proliferation and toxicogenesis) as a function of ambient (e.g. temperature and relative humidity) and processing conditions, and their point of entry into the food chain (including the home environment).

  18. Why do we need new methods? *Low detection limit(less than one pathogen per 25 gram) *High specificity and accuracy(no false-negative/-positive results) *High robustness(inter-lab reproducibility) *High Rapidity(at-line and on-line analysis) *Acceptance(validation and standardisation) *Low cost(number of test) *Simplicity(user-friendly and automation) *Sample matrix flexibility(no interference) *Quantitative analysis(food spoilage micro-organisms)
