Objective: It is essential to develop a more simple, accurate and rapid method. Methods: The LAMP ( loop - me-diated isothermal amplification) was used to detect E. sakazakii from five imported pet milk powders, the result was validated by conventional method. Results: E. sakazakii was detected from two pet milk powders by LAMP. VITEK 2 biochemical identification system confirmed the LAMP results. Conclusion: Detection of actual food samples shows that this method is sensitive and specific, it' s potentially used to detect E sakazakii in powdered milk or other foods.
