Multiplex PCR-Lateral Flow Dipstick Method for Detection of Thermostable Direct Hemolysin ( TDH) Producing V. parahaemolyticus. BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:698. [PMID: 37504096 PMCID: PMC10377466 DOI: 10.3390/bios13070698] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 06/24/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is usually found in seafood and causes acute gastroenteritis in humans. Therefore, a detection method of pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus is necessary. Multiplex PCR combined with lateral flow dipstick (LFD) assay was developed to detect pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus. Biotin-, FAM-, and Dig-conjugated primers targeting thermolabile hemolysin (TLH) and thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH) genes were used for multiplex PCR amplification. The condition of the method was optimized and evaluated by agarose gel electrophoresis and universal lateral flow dipstick. The specificity assay was evaluated using strains belonging to seven foodborne pathogen species. The sensitivity of the method was also evaluated using DNA in the concentration range of 0.39-100 ng/reaction. The artificial spiking experiment was performed using 10 g of shrimp samples with an enrichment time of 0, 4, and 8 h with 101, 102, and 103 CFU of V. parahaemolyticus. The developed multiplex PCR-LFD assay showed no non-specific amplification with a limit of the detection of 0.78 ng DNA/reaction visualized by agarose gel electrophoresis and 0.39 ng DNA with LFD assay. The artificial spiking experiment demonstrated that this method could detect pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus at 10 CFU/10 g shrimp samples following a 4 h of enrichment. Multiplex PCR-LFD assay was therefore established for detecting pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus with high sensitivity and specificity and might be a useful tool to develop a detection kit used in the food safety sector.

Abstract
Food associated diseases pose significant public health threat in the United States. Health risks associated with food-borne pathogens drive the need for constant monitoring of food products. An efficient method that can diagnose food-borne pathogens rapidly will be invaluable and in high demand. In this study, we showed the feasibility of a novel rapid detection platform based on fluorescence imaging/detection that combines a user-friendly, portable loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) reaction device and a smartphone-based detection system. The proposed platform was used to detect Staphylococcus aureus which is one of the most important food-borne pathogen especially dairy products. The complete protocol is quicker; the reaction is performed under isothermal conditions and completed in 1 h or less. Experimental results show that LAMP assays were ten-fold more sensitive than PCR-based detection. The proposed smartphone detection system was able to detect and quantify LAMP assay samples containing three different concentrations of S. aureus from 109 CFU/mL down to 103 CFU/mL. The present proof-of-concept study demonstrated that this platform offers a portable, easy to use method for measuring target pathogens with LAMP amplification.

Performance Evaluation of a Novel Ultrafast Molecular Diagnostic Device Integrated With Microfluidic Chips and Dual Temperature Modules. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:895236. [PMID: 35662850 PMCID: PMC9162139 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.895236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Ultrafast, portable, and inexpensive molecular diagnostic platforms are critical for clinical diagnosis and on-site detection. There are currently no available real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) devices able to meet the demands of point-of-care testing, as the heating and cooling processes cannot be avoided. In this study, the dual temperature modules were first designed to process microfluidic chips automatically circulating between them. Thus, a novel ultrafast molecular diagnostic real-time PCR device (approximately 18 and 23 min for DNA and RNA detection, respectively) with two channels (FAM and Cy5) for the detection of 12 targets was developed. The device contained three core functional components, including temperature control, optics, and motion, which were integrated into a portable compact box. The temperature modules accurately control temperature in rapid thermal cycles with less than ±0.1 °C, ±1 °C and ±0.5 °C for the temperature fluctuation, uniformity, and error of indication, respectively. The average coefficient of variation (CV) of the fluorescence intensity (FI) for all 12 wells was 2.3% for FAM and 2.7% for Cy5. There was a good linear relationship between the concentrations of fluorescent dye and the FIs of FAM and Cy5(R2 = 0.9990 and 0.9937), and the average CVs of the Ct values calculated by the embedded software were 1.4% for FAM and Cy5, respectively. The 100 double-blind mocked sputum and 249 clinical stool samples were analyzed by the ultrafast real-time PCR device in comparison with the DAAN Gene SARS-CoV-2 kit run on the ABI 7500 instrument and Xpert C. difficile/Epi, respectively. Among the 249 stool samples, the ultrafast real-time PCR device detected toxigenic C. difficile in 54 samples (54/249, 21.7%) with a specificity and positive predictive values of 99.0 and 96.3%, which were higher than the Xpert C. difficile/Epi values of 94.4 and 88.1% (p > 0.05). The ultrafast real-time PCR device detected 15 SARS-CoV-2 positive samples, which has a 100% concordance with that obtained by the DAAN Gene SARS-CoV-2 kit. This study demonstrated that the ultrafast real-time PCR device integrated with microfluidic chips and dual temperature modules is an ultrafast, reliable, easy-to-use, and cost-effective molecular diagnostic platform for clinical diagnosis and on-site testing, especially in resource-limited settings.

Foods 2022; 11:foods11030352. [PMID: 35159502 PMCID: PMC8834026 DOI: 10.3390/foods11030352] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2021] [Revised: 01/20/2022] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Vibrio parahaemolyticus (V. parahaemolyticus) is considered the most concerning pathogen for seafood. Like other pathogens in food samples, its gene detection suffers from a problem of background interference when isothermal detection methods are used. The sensitivity and specificity greatly decrease due to large amounts of background genome. Here we describe a novel isothermal detection technology based on target-cyclized rolling circle amplification combined with loop-mediated isothermal amplification (tRCA-lamp). By avoiding unexpected ligation, a short dynamic adapter is employed to increase the sensitivity of target cyclization in the presence of the background genome. At the amplification step, highly specific detection is obtained by linear RCA and simplified LAMP (only two primers are used). Furthermore, visual detection is easily realized with hydroxynaphthol blue (HNB). In the oyster samples, the tRCA-lamp approach can detect V. parahaemolyticus with a detection limit of 22 cfu/g with none necessary to enrich the bacteria and remove the host DNA. This method gets rid of the complicated primer design process and can be extended to the detection of other pathogens in food samples.

Abstract
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is an important pathogenic bacterium in both food safety management and mariculture. Rapid and accurate detection technologies are critical for effective control of its outbreak and spreading. Conventional technologies and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based approaches have limited usage because of the requirement of laboratory instruments and trained personnel. Using the isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) technology, several detection assays have been developed with added convenience. Combining the lateral flow strip (LFS) test with RPA can further simplify the detection. In this study, an improved RPA assay using LFS for visual detection of V. parahaemolyticus was developed. Primers were designed targeting the virulence genes and screened for amplification efficiency, nonspecific amplification, and primer-dimer formation. Probes were designed for the best primer pairs, and the weakness of LFS tests, being easily affected by primer-dependent artifacts, was overcome by sequence modifications on primers and probe. The RPA-LFS assay took 25 min at 35 to 45 °C, and showed excellent specificity. It detected as low as one colony forming unit (CFU) of V. parahaemolyticus per reaction without DNA purification, or 10 CFU/10 g spiked food samples with 2 hr of enrichment. The detection limit was better than the currently available RPA-based detection methods. Application of the RPA-LFS assay for simulated samples or real clinical samples showed accurate and consistent detection results compared to bioassay and quantitative PCR. The RPA-LFS assay provided a rapid, accurate, and convenient V. parahaemolyticus detection method suitable for on-site detection in resource-limited conditions. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This research developed a rapid and visual detection technology for Vibrio parahaemolyticus that is not dependent on complicated equipment. The detection process takes 25 min and the result is read with the naked eye. A detection kit can be developed based on this technology for on-site detection of V. parahaemolyticus in resource-limited regions for food safety management and mariculture.

Abstract
The detection and monitoring of Vibrio parahaemolyticus pathogen in aquatic foods have become essential for preventing outbreaks. In this study, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay with the azo dye, hydroxynaphthol blue (HNB) was developed targeting species-specific tlh gene. The assay was carried out on 62 seafood samples that included clam and shrimp and compared with conventional LAMP assay performed with the commonly used fluorescent dye, conventional PCR, and real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Of 62 samples studied for tlh gene, 32 (51.61%) gave positive by HNB-LAMP, which comprised 22 (70.96%) clam samples and 10 (32.25%) shrimp samples. The HNB-LAMP assay was found to be highly sensitive, specific, and superior to conventional PCR (p > 0.05). RT-PCR presented higher sensitivity than HNB-LAMP; however, it has the limitation of being cost-intensive and requiring technical expertise to perform. HNB-LAMP is affordable, rapid, simple, and easy to perform, allowing naked eye visualization.

Abstract
Molecular imprinting technology offers a means of tailor-made materials with high affinity and selectivity for certain analysts. However, the recognition and separation of specific bacteria in complex matrices are still challenging. Herein, a bacteria-imprinted polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film was facilely prepared and modified with 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (POTS). Employing Vibrio parahaemolyticus as a model bacterium, the imprinted surface exhibited three-dimensionality cavities with mean size of 1000 × 800 nm in square and 100 nm in depth. After incubation for 2 h with 6 × 107 CFU mL−1 of V. parahaemolyticus, the imprinted polymer film can reach a 62.9% capture efficiency. Furthermore, the imprinted POTS-modified PDMS film based solid phase extraction combined with polymerase chain reaction and agarose gel electrophoresis allows for detecting 104 CFU mL−1 with excellent selectivity in fresh oyster samples. As a result, the developed selective sample pretreatment method using molecular imprinting technology provides a promising platform for separation, identification, and analysis of pathogens. Molecular imprinting technology offers a means of tailor-made materials with high affinity and selectivity for certain analysts.![]()

Abstract
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is one of the important foodborne pathogens is of public health concern due to the emergence of pandemic strains causing disease outbreaks worldwide. We evaluated the DNA based colony hybridization technique for the detection and enumeration of total and pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus from the bivalve shellfish, clam using non-radioactive, enzyme-labeled probe targeting the tlh and trh genes, respectively. The digoxigenin (DIG) labeled probes designed in this study showed 100% specificity by dot blot assay. Colony hybridization using DIG probes was performed using both non-selective, trypticase soy agar (TSA) and the selective medium, thiosulfate citrate bile salts sucrose (TCBS) agar. Of 32 clam samples analyzed, 71.88% had>10,000 V. parahaemolyticus cells/g in TSA whereas it was 18.75% in case of TCBS. All the samples showed the presence of total V. parahaemolyticus in TSA and 97% in the case of TCBS. Interestingly, results of the trh+V. parahaemolyticus samples were quite high while using TCBS plates (62.5%) as compared to TSA (43.75%). However, the cell numbers obtained from TSA were higher than from TCBS. Several yellow colonies on TCBS turned out to be V. parahaemolyticus using colony hybridization, which was further confirmed by PCR and sucrose utilization test. Colony hybridization using DIG-labeled probe was found to be highly sensitive and could differentiate and enumerate pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains of V. parahaemolyticus. Since traditional methods are not only labor-intensive and time-consuming but also less sensitive, colony hybridization using DIG-labeled probes would be a useful alternative for the enumeration of V. parahaemolyticus in naturally contaminated seafood.
