Abstract

Real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) using 16S rDNA is an alternative to conventional culture-based tests. The aim of this study was to compare the conventional culture method with qPCR using 16S rDNA in a model of cardiac tissue contamination. Samples of cardiac tissue for artificial contamination with Escherichia coli and control samples were submitted for DNA extraction, which was conducted by selective and alkaline lysis and purification steps. A standard curve for 16S rDNA was constructed to determine the efficiency and analytical sensitivity of the assay in concentrations from 10 to 10 c.f.u. ml using TaqMan Master Mix. 16S rDNA was detected in all contaminated samples; however, it was not detected in the the final washing step solution of the sample with a bioburden of 10 c.f.u. ml. Using qPCR is a potential alternative to conventional culture for microbiological safety testing of allograft tissues for biobanking, reducing the time and labour input required.
