Food Borne Pathogens - Gel Results

posted May 17, 2019, 11:01 AM by Mark Eberhard   [ updated May 17, 2019, 11:06 AM ]


Lane 1 = M1M (5 fragments of 100, 300, 500, 1,000, and 2,000 base pairs)
Lane 2 = Shigella (reference standard of 175 and 1000 base pairs)
Lane 3 = + control (lab control version of Shigella produces fragments of 175 and 1800 bp)
Lane 4 = - control (no DNA)
Lane 5 = cheese + lab control
Lane 6 = sour cream + lab control
Lane 7 = bean layer + lab control
Lane 8 = salsa layer + lab control
Lane 9 = guacamole + lab control 

Did NOT test ...
  • 5L - the homogeneous mixture of the five layer bean dip, since it would not help identify which ingredient was the source of the shigella
  • 1 KB L - the fragments in this ladder were larger than the expected fragments from the shigella
