Non-isotopic colorimetric detection has been applied in a rapid nucleic acid dipstick hybridization assay for detection of Listeria spp. in food and environmental samples. The assay takes approximately 2.5-3 h following a two day broth and plate enrichment. Hybridization occurs between fluorescein labeled detector probes, poly(deoxyadenosine)-tailed capture probes, and Listeria-specific regions of 16 S ribosomal RNA. These target:probe complexes are captured on poly(deoxythymidine) coated plastic dipsticks. Detection is based on binding of horseradish peroxidase conjugated anti-fluorescein antibody to the hybridization complex, and enzyme-mediated color development. The colorimetric endpoint is read on a photometer at 450 nm. In these initial studies, 306 inoculated dairy, meat and seafood samples, and 200 environmental samples were tested. When compared with total culture results the hybridization assay had unconfirmed positive and false-negative rates of approximately 1.4-2.9% and 0.8-4.7%, respectively.
