DA SUPPORTS STUDY FOR RAPID, COST EFFECTIVE DETECTION OF SALMONELLA IN MEAT PRODUCTS

Ang Department of Agriculture Biotechnology Program ay ibinigay ang kanilang buong suporta para sa isang pag-aaral ng University of the Philippines Diliman sa mabilisang pagtuklas ng Salmonella na makikita sa mga raw meat at iba pang meat products sa pamamagitan ng genetic blueprints upang matiyak ang kaligtasan ng karneng binibili ng mga tao.

Ayon sa DA Biotech Program, ang pag-aaral ay naglalayong lumikha ng isang protocol para sa molecular detection ng Salmonella upang sa payagan ang mabilisang pagtuklas ng mga organism at ang pinagmulan nito upang higit pang makilala ang organismo, at makontrol ang paglaganap at tukuyin mismo kung ano ang dahilan sa paglaganap nito. Idinagdag ng DA Biotech Program, sinabi ng mga mananaliksik na maaaring maging posible ito sa biotechnological method na tinatawag na Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), na nalaman na ito ay highly sensitive, very specific, fast at reproducible.

Naglalayon din ang proyektong ito na malaman o matuklasan ang Salmonella species sa mga slaughter house at mga livestock poultry-parehong raw meat at meat products sa mga wet Market ditto sa Manila.

Isang grupo ng baktirya na nagiging sanhi ng humigit kumulang 90% ng food-borne illnesses sa buong mundo. Sa grupong ito, ang Salmonella ay isa sa mga pinaka-madalas na naiiulat at nagiging sanhi ng gastroenteritis at enteric fever na mas kilala bilang food poisoning o pagkalason sa pagkain. Ang industriya ay patuloy na hinahamon sa pamamagitan ng microbial diseases.

Ang research team ay nananaliksik pa rin ng posibleng paglitaw ng strains na lumalaban sa antibiotics lalo na sa ceftriaxone at ciprofloxacin na ginagamit sa paggagamot sa bacterial infections sa tao.

Si Dr. Windell Rivera, Professor of Microbiology at the Institute of Biology at U.P ang research project leader. (Lynne Pingoy)
