Sal enteritidis thin fimbriae, SEF14, were found to be restricted to the predominantly poultry-associated members of the Salmonella serogroup D1 that are considered as the important pathogens in poultry industry. SefA together with sefB and sdfC encode the proteins involved in SEF14 biosynthesis. In order to develop the rapid and specific detection methods for Salmonella serogroup D1, a PCR technique for the am;lification of sefA gene was established, and its specificity and sensitivity were investigated with various microorganisms. The bacterial genomic DNA was extracted by colony-picking and rapid boiled-lysate technique. In comparison of SefI and SefII primers used in the PCR. SefI primer for sefA gene of 513bp showed higher specificity than that of SefII. The established PCR was s sensitive as to detect 1pg of Sal enteritidis DNA. When 73 strains in 28 genera including the reference strains and the field isolates of various Salmonella serotypes, Bacillus subtilis, Bordetella bronchiseptica, E coli, Listeria spp., Micrococcus luteus, Rhodococcus equi, Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Vibrio parahemolyticus, Yersinia spp. were studied, the established PCR yielded specifically positive results with only Salmonella serogroup D1. The results suggested that the PCR for sefA gene could be a potential candidate among the specific detection methods for Salmonella serogroup D1.
