Rapid,sensitive detection of Vibrio anguillarum using loop-mediated isothermal amplification

Vibrio anguillarum is an important bacterial pathogen of aquatic organisms and a significant problem in aquatic farming. The rapid detection and identification of V. anguillarum, and other pathogens that infect marine organisms, is crucial to effective disease management. In this study, we developed a loop-mediated amplification （LAMP） assay to detect V. anguillarum in an hour in a single tube without the need for thermal cycling. Conserved regions of the metalloproteinase （empA） gene of V. anguillarum served as the targets for primer design. A fragment of the empA gene was amplified at 65℃ in the presence of the primer mixture and Bst DNA polymerase. In the optimized LAMP assay, 6.7 pg of V. anguillarum DNA could be detected. Six strains of V. anguillarum and 17 strains of non-V, anguillarum bacteria were used in this study to evaluate the species specificity of the primers. The six V. anguillarum strains gave a positive result in the LAMP assay. This method was also validated in V. anguillarum-infected fish. This LAMP method is more sensitive than PCR in the detection of V. anguillarum and shows good species specificity. The LAMP assay is therefore an effective method for the quick detection of V. anguillarum both in the laboratory and in the field.

环介导恒温扩增法快速检测海产品中的副溶血弧菌

副溶血弧菌广泛分布于海水或海产品中,人类摄入或接触污染的水源和食物易引起感染。近年来,有关致病性弧菌引起腹泻的报道逐渐增多,但GB标准的细菌学诊断方法检测周期长达1周左右,而且操作较为复杂,难以满足控制疾病暴发和传播的需要,就这一现状,建立了一套不仅快速、准确,而且操作简便、不依赖昂贵仪器的检测方法,应用于海产品中副溶血弧菌快速检测。采用环介导恒温扩增方法(LAMP),针对副溶血弧菌的gyrB基因设计特异引物,进行恒温扩增。使用该方法最低检出限达到101CFU/mL,灵敏度可以达到0.1pg副溶血弧菌基因组DNA,为海产品中副溶血弧菌的检测提供了一个新的辅助方法。
