Original Abstract
PCR in combination with ethidium monoazidem (EMA) is a new method that allows to distinguish between live and dead cells. Expand the use of PCR in food for example when determining the number of live and dead cells of probiotic bacteria in dairy products. The method is based on the observation that EMA can penetrate into the cytoplasm and the DNA of cells killed due to malfunction of the cell membrane (wall). Photoactivation with EMA covalently binds to DNA, which is why Does Not Amplify in PCR. The PCR amplified only the DNA of living cells. The aim was to use EMA-PCR method to distinguish between live and dead bacterial cells probiotic Lactobacillus paracasei ssp paracasei CCDM 211 / 06, newly isolated from human sources. Attention was paid to various procedures of killing bacterial cells.
