Abstract
Vibrio parahaemolyticus has become an important public threat to human health. Rapid and robust pathogen diagnostics are necessary for monitoring its outbreak and spreading. Herein, we report an assay for the detection of V. parahaemolyticus based on recombinase aided amplification (RAA) combined with lateral flow dipstick (LFD), namely RAA-LFD. The RAA-LFD took 20 min at 36~38 ℃, and showed excellent specificity. It detected as low as 6.4 fg/µL of V. parahaemolyticus in genomic DNA, or 7.4 CFU/g spiked food samples with 4 h of enrichment. The limit of detection in shrimp (Litopenaeus Vannamei), fish (Carassius auratus), clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) evidenced that sensitivity was considerably affected by the food matrix. The presence of food matrix reduced the sensitivity of spiked food samples by 10 ~ 100 times. In the filed samples detection, RAA-LFD method showed good coincidence with GB4789.7-2013 method and PCR method at rates of 90.6% and 94.1%, respectively. RAA-LFD has high accuracy and sensitivity for the detection of V. parahaemolyticus, which can serve as a model tool to meet the growing need for point-of-care diagnosis of V. parahaemolyticus.

A Visualized Isothermal Amplification Method for Rapid and Specific Detection of Emetic and Non-emetic Bacillus cereus in Dairy Products. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:802656.

Abstract
Bacillus cereus is widely distributed in foods, especially dairy products, and can lead to diarrhea (non-emetic B. cereus) and emesis (emetic B. cereus). Although diarrhea due to B. cereus is usually mild, emesis can lead to acute encephalopathy and even death. To develop rapid and sensitive detection methods for B. cereus in foods, specific primers targeting the gyrase B (gyrB) and cereulide synthetase (ces) genes were designed and screened using recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA). Probes and base substitutions were introduced to improve specificity and eliminate primer-dependent artifacts. The 5' ends of the reverse primers and probes were modified with biotin and fluorescein isothiocyanate for detection of RPA products on a lateral flow strip (LFS). The developed RPA-LFS assay allows detection within 20 min at 37°C with no cross-reactivity with other foodborne pathogens. The limit of detection was 104 copies/ml and 102 CFU/ml in pure cultures and milk, respectively. Comparisons with established methods using cream obtained similar results. A specific, rapid, and sensitive RPA-LFS assay was successfully developed for on-site detection of B. cereus in dairy products to distinguish emetic from non-emetic strains.

Abstract
Vibrio parahaemolyticus (V. parahaemolyticus) is a widely distributed pathogen in the coastal areas, which causes food poisoning and leads to gastroenteritis and sepsis. Therefore, developing a simple, sensitive, and rapid detection method for V. parahaemolyticus is a major concern globally. This study established a sensitive and rapid technique based on recombinase aided amplification (RAA) to detect V. parahaemolyticus. The RAA reaction was carried out successfully at 39 °C within 30 min. The sensitivity of the RAA assay was 101 copies/μL using the recombinant plasmid and 10-3 ng/μL using the V. parahaemolyticus strain. In addition, RAA directly detected 7 × 103 CFU/mL of simulated fecal samples and 0.1 CFU/mL after enrichment for 4 h. The sensitivity and specificity of the RAA assay using fecal and fish samples were 100% similar to that of the real-time PCR. We conclude that the RAA assay is an ideal screening method for detecting V. parahaemolyticus due to its rapidity, high accuracy, and simplicity in operation.

Abstract
Various diseases caused by food-borne or environmental pathogenic microorganisms have been a persistent threat to public health and global economies. It is necessary to regularly detect microorganisms in food and environment to prevent infection of pathogenic microorganisms. However, most traditional detection methods are expensive, time-consuming, and unfeasible in practice in the absence of sophisticated instruments and trained operators. Point-of-care testing (POCT) can be used to detect microorganisms rapidly on site and greatly improve the efficiency of microbial detection. Lab-on-chip (LOC) is an emerging POCT technology with great potential by integrating most of the experimental steps carried out in the laboratory into a single monolithic device. This review will primarily focus on principles and techniques of LOC for detection of microbial nucleic acid in food and environment, including sample preparation, nucleic acid amplification and sample detection.

Abstract
The rapid detection of pathogens in infected wounds can significantly improve the clinical outcome. Wound exudate, which can be collected in a non-invasive way, offers an attractive sample material for the detection of pathogens at the point-of-care (POC). Here, we report the development of a nucleic acid lateral flow immunoassay for direct detection of isothermally amplified DNA combined with fast sample preparation. The streamlined protocol was evaluated using human wound exudate spiked with the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa that cause severe health issues upon wound colonization. A detection limit of 2.1 × 105 CFU per mL of wound fluid was achieved, and no cross-reaction with other pathogens was observed. Furthermore, we integrated an internal amplification control that excludes false negative results and, in combination with the flow control, ensures the validity of the test result. The paper-based approach with only three simple hands-on steps has a turn-around time of less than 30 min and covers the complete analytical process chain from sample to answer. This newly developed workflow for wound fluid diagnostics has tremendous potential for reliable pathogen POC testing and subsequent target-oriented therapy.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore a specific, simple, and sensitive method for diagnosis of avian infectious laryngotracheitis virus. Recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) and lateral flow dipstick (LFD) were combined for labeling the optimized RAA probe with 6-carboxyfluorescein (FAM) and the 5'-end of the downstream primer with biotin, respectively. By optimizing the reaction time, temperature, and primer concentration of RAA, a RAA-LFD assay, which could be used for detection of infectious laryngotracheitis, was established. After the specificity and sensitivity test, the target gene fragments could be amplified by RAA-LFD assay in 20 min under isothermal conditions (37°C), and the amplification products could be visually observed and determined by LFD within 3 min. There was no cross-reaction with nucleic acids of other avian pathogens, the lowest detectable limit of RAA-LFD was 102 copies/μL, and the sensitivity of this method was 100 times higher than that of conventional PCR with the lowest detectable limit of 104 copies/μL. The results showed that RAA-LFD assay was highly sensitive, easy to use, and more suitable for clinical detection.

An isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification and lateral flow strip combined method for rapid on-site detection of Vibrio vulnificus in raw seafood. Food Microbiol 2020; 98:103664.

Abstract
Vibrio vulnificus is an important foodborne pathogenic bacterium that mainly contaminates seafood. Rapid and accurate technologies that suitable for on-site detection are critical for effective control of its spreading. Conventional detection methods and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based and qPCR-based approaches have application limitations in on-site scenarios. Application of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technology was a good step towards the on-site detection. In this study, a recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA)-based detection method for V. vulnificus was developed combining with lateral flow strip (LFS) for visualized signal. The method targeted the conservative empV gene encoding the extracellular metalloproteinase, and finished detection in 35 min at a conveniently low temperature of 37 °C. It showed good specificity and an excellent sensitivity of 2 copies of the genome or 10-1 colony forming unit (CFU) per reaction, or 1 CFU/10 g in spiked food samples with enrichment. The method tolerated unpurified templates directly from sample boiling, which added the convenience of the overall procedure. Application of the RPA-LFS method for clinical samples showed accurate and consistent detection results compared to bioassay and quantitative PCR. This RPA-LFS combined method is well suited for on-site detection of V. vulnificus.

An improved recombinase polymerase amplification assay for visual detection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus with lateral flow strips. J Food Sci 2020; 85:1834-1844.

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.

Here we utilize recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), a fast and sensitive isothermal DNA-based technology for the detection of four BRD pathogens (Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, Histophilus somni, Mycoplasma bovis), genes coding antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and integrative conjugative elements (ICE) which can harbor AMR genes. Eleven RPA assays were designed and validated including: a) one conventional species-specific multiplex assay targeting the 4 BRD pathogens, b) two species-specific real-time multiplex RPA assays targeting M. haemolytica/M. bovis and P. multocida/H. somni, respectively with a novel competitive internal amplification control, c) seven conventional assays targeting AMR genes (tetH, tetR, msrE, mphE, sul2, floR, erm42), and d) one real-time assay targeting ICE. Each real-time RPA assay was tested on 100 deep nasopharyngeal swabs (DNPS) collected from feedlot cattle previously assessed for targets using either culture methods and/or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) verification (TC-PCR). The developed RPA assays enabled sensitive and accurate identification of BRD agents and AMR/ICE genes directly from DNPS, in a shorter period than TC-PCR, showing considerable promise as a tool for point-of-care identification of BRD pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes.

Recombinase polymerase amplification-lateral flow (RPA-LF) assay combined with immunomagnetic separation for rapid visual detection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in raw oysters. Anal Bioanal Chem 2020; 412:2903-2914.

Abstract
This study was the first attempt to optimize a recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and lateral flow (LF) assay combined with immunomagnetic separation (IMS) for the detection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in raw oysters. The newly developed IMS-RPA-LF assay effectively combines sample preparation, amplification, and detection into a single platform. Under optimal conditions, the average capture efficiency (CE) for 104 colony forming units (CFU)/mL of four V. parahaemolyticus strains with 0.4 mg of immunomagnetic beads within 45 min was 80.3%. After optimization, the RPA-LF assay was able to detect V. parahaemolyticus within 15 min, comprising DNA amplification with RPA for 10 min at 37 °C and visualization of the amplicons through LF strips for 5 min. The RPA-LF assay exhibited good specificity by showing a test line for eight V. parahaemolyticus strains with different serotypes but no cross-reaction with 12 non-V. parahaemolyticus bacteria. RPA-LF assay was found to be sensitive and detected as low as 10 pg genomic DNA of V. parahaemolyticus. For spiked oyster samples, the detection sensitivity of V. parahaemolyticus was improved to 2 CFU/g by IMS-RPA-LF after enrichment for 4 h; in contrast, the IMS-PCR method required 8 h. Hence, even when V. parahaemolyticus was present in very low numbers in samples, the IMS-RPA-LF assay could be completed within half a workday. Because of the high sensitivity, specificity, and speed of the IMS-RPA-LF assay, this newly developed method opens a novel pathway for rapid diagnostic screening of V. parahaemolyticus in seafood, which is an increasingly important health issue worldwide.

Abstract
Nucleic acid amplification technology (NAAT) has assumed a critical position in disease diagnosis in recent times and contributed significantly to healthcare. Application of these methods has resulted in a more sensitive, accurate and rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases than older traditional methods like culture-based identification. NAAT such as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is widely applied but seldom available to resource-limited settings. Isothermal amplification (IA) methods provide a rapid, sensitive, specific, simpler and less expensive procedure for detecting nucleic acid from samples. However, not all of these IA techniques find regular applications in infectious diseases diagnosis. Disease diagnosis and treatment could be improved, and the rapidly increasing problem of antimicrobial resistance reduced, with improvement, adaptation, and application of isothermal amplification methods in clinical settings, especially in developing countries. This review centres on some isothermal techniques that have found documented applications in infectious diseases diagnosis, highlighting their principles, development, strengths, setbacks and imminent potentials for use at points of care.

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.

Niu B, Hong B, Zhang Z, Mu L, Malakar PK, Liu H, Pan Y, Zhao Y. A Novel qPCR Method for Simultaneous Detection and Quantification of Viable Pathogenic and Non-pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus ( tlh+ , tdh+ , and ureR + ). Front Microbiol 2018; 9:1747. [PMID: 30116230 PMCID: PMC6083054 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.01747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2018] [Accepted: 07/12/2018] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Pathogenic and non-pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains were simultaneously detected and quantified using a novel viable multiplex real-time PCR (novel qPCR). We used a new PCR primer and probe, ureR, as a surrogate for detection of the toxin trh gene as the primer was better at identifying variant V. parahaemolyticus trh strains. The specificity of all primers and probes used in this study were validated on three standard strains of V. parahaemolyticus, 42 clinical strains, 12 wild strains, 4 strains of Vibrio spp., and 4 strains of other bacteria. Then, propidium monoazide (PMA) was applied to inhibit DNA of dead cell, and the results of PMA optimized treatments were 15 μM concentration, 5 min incubation periods, 15 min light exposure periods and 30 RPM rotational speed, which resulted in time and cost savings. Pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains were quantified using a two-reaction tube method where the tlh, tdh, and ureR genes were amplified. Additionally, standard curves with a 7-log dynamic range were generated for quantifying viable V. parahaemolyticus and the amplification efficiencies were 108.68, 105.17, and 115.61% for tlh+, tdh+, and ureR+. This novel qPCR accurately monitored V. parahaemolyticus contamination rates in shrimps (Penaeus vannamei) and clams (Ruditapes philippinarum) sampled from retail stores located in a major district in Shanghai. In conclusion, our assay can prioritize the detection and quantification of viable pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus and can prove to be a more effective tool for reducing infection risks from consumption of seafood in Shanghai.
