摘要

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a rapid, specific, and effective DNA amplification assay. In this study, a duplex LAMP (dLAMP) assay combined with chromatographic lateral flow dipstick (LFD) was developed for the simultaneous identification of Vibrio vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus. Each primer set that comprised F3, B3, FIP, and BIP recognized the V. vulnificus rpoS gene and the V. parahaemolyticus tlh gene. Digoxigenilated and biotinylated LAMP amplicons of V. vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus, respectively, were hybridized with corresponded fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled probes for LFD detection. The optimum conditions were 90 min at 63 degrees C. The dLAMP-LFD had high specificity to V. vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus and showed no cross-amplification with 59 isolates of other bacteria. The detection limit of dLAMP-LFD with a pure culture of V. vulnificus was 2.2 x 10(4) CFU/mL, corresponding to 41 CFU per reaction, which was equal to that of duplex PCR (dPCR). In the case of V. parahaemolyticus, the detection limit of dLAMP-LFD with a pure culture was 2.2 x 10(3) CFU/mL, corresponding to 4.1 CFU per reaction, 100 times more sensitive than that of dPCR. In the spiked shrimp samples, the detection limit of dLAMP-LFD for V. vulnificus was 2.2 x 10(5) CFU/g, corresponding to 410 CFU per reaction, 10 times more sensitive than that of dPCR. In the case of V. parahaemolyticus, the detection limit of dLAMP-LFD in spiked shrimp samples was 2.2 x 10(4) CFU/g, corresponding to 41 CFU per reaction, 100 times more sensitive than that of dPCR. These results demonstrate that the simple dLAMP-LFD assay had high specificity and high sensitivity for the concurrent detection of V. vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus.
