Multiplex PCR was used to simultaneously amplify three diagnostic genes （tlh, tdh andfla） that serve as molecular markers of V. parahaemolyticus. Biotinylated PCR products were hybridized to primers immobilized on a microarray, and detected by chemiluminesce with avidin-conjugated alkaline phosphatase. With this method, forty-five samples were tested. Eight known virulent strains （tlh＋/tdh＋/fla＋） and four known avirulent strains （tlh＋/tdh /fla＋） of the V. parahaemolyticus were successfully detected, and no non-specific hybridization and cross-hybridization reaction were found from fifteen closely-related strains （tlh-/tdh-/fla＋） of the Vibrio spp. In addition, all the other eighteen strains of non-Vibrio bacteria （tlh-/tdh /fla-） gave negative results. The DNA microarray successfully distinguished V. parahaemolyticus from other Vibrio spp. The results demonstrated that this was an efficient and robust method for identifying virulent strains of V. parahaemolyticus.展开更多
