The sensitivity of multiplex ET-MCDA approach for simultaneously detecting two target pathogens in artificially contaminated blood samples. Two sets of ET-MCDA primers targeting invA and ipaH genes were simultaneously added to a reaction vessel. (A,B) were simultaneously yielded from Cy5 (labeling Sal-E-CP1 of invA) and Hex (labeling Shi-E-CP1 of ipaH) channels, respectively. Sensitivity of multiplex-ET-MCDA for simultaneously detecting Salmonella (A) and Shigella (B) in artificially contaminates blood samples was monitored by real-time format, and signals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 represent Salmonella DNA levels of 39,000, 3900, 390, 39, 3.9, 0.39, and 0.039 CFU per reaction and negative control; Salmonella DNA levels for 34,000, 3400, 340, 34, 3.4, 0.34, and 0.034 CFU per reaction and negative control. The LoD of multiplex ET-MCDA method for Salmonella analysis in artificially contaminates blood samples was 3.9 CFU per reaction, and the LoD of multiplex ET-MCDA for Salmonella detection in artificially contaminates blood samples was 3.4 CFU per reaction.
