Clavibacter michiganensissubsp. michiganensis
Systemic disease
Seed-borne
Water-borne

Cmm Root Colonization
-
Salmonella on Tomatoes Salmonella does not
cause symptoms on plants
But it can:
Persist on tomato plants and fruit
Colonize seeds
Survive in water Bioluminescent Salmonella enterica serovarTyphimurium on tomato seeds and seedlings
-
Objectives
Verify the sensitivity and specificity of available detection assays for Cmm and Salmonella
Identify methods to concentrate Cmm and Salmonella from greenhouse water
Develop a plan for water testing going forward
-
Experimental Approach
Test available assays for accuracy
Re-isolating bacteria by culturing considered the Gold Standard
Select best bacterial concentration method
Determine sensitivity of detection assays with selected concentration methods
-

Summary Cmm Detection Assays
Agdia Immunostrips: Non-specific-high rate of false positives Detection limit ~ 1 x 105 Cmm/g
Cmm DNAble: Specific-no false positives Detection limit ~ 1 x 105 Cmm/g
Smart-DART: Specific- no false positives Detection limit ~ 1 x 105 Cmm/g
Multiplex PCR: Low sens.-high rate of false negatives
qPCR: Highly specific and sensitive

Envirologix DNAble for Salmonella
Both require 24-hr enrichment step
Neither differentiate serovars

Summary Filtration of water samples through disposable inline filters
superior to other methods of bacterial concentration
Real-Time quantitative PCR most sensitive and compared best to culturing Cmm:100 cells/5L
DNAble for Salmonella similar to culturing in sensitivity if enriched: 100 cells/5L
Cmm but not Salmonella sensitive to higher temperatures; filters need to be shipped on ice
Currently expensive but economies of scale and combining assays may reduce costs
