Description

• Matrix MicroScience and USDA Agricultural Research Service to Collaborate on Improved System for Testing Food Samples for E.coli and Salmonella Matrix MicroScience will collaborate through a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) with the Bacterial Epidemiology and Antimicrobial Resistance Research Unit (BEARRU) at Athens, Georgia and the Meat Safety and Quality Research Unit (MSQRU) at Clay Center, Nebraska to develop and evaluate an improved system for detection and identification of Shiga toxin-containing E. coli (STEC) serotypes O26, O45, O103, O121, O145, and O111 and Salmonella serotype Enteritidis (SE); based on immunomagnetic separation using the PATHATRIX® System. BEARRU and MSQRU are part of the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), which is a scientific research agency in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).Dr Adrian Parton MBE, Founder and C.E.O. of Matrix MicroScience commented that Matrix is excited about entering into a CRADA with USDA-ARS and to work with their scientists Dr. Paula Cray (BEARRU) and Dr. James Bono (MSQRU) on developing reagents for the capture and purification of the big 6 non-O157 STEC. We already have preliminary data on antibodies to O26 and O111 that was recently presented at the IAFP annual meeting in Milwaukee and hope that after further characterisation, these will become available to the industry within months.
