Based on the combination of droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and propidium monoazide (PMA), a new method called PMA-duplex ddPCR was developed for the quantitative determination of viable Vibrio parahaemolyticus in aquatic products. Specific primers and probes targeting a new gene, vp0488, coding for putative DNA polymerase III beta chain, which was self-screened by this laboratory, and a traditional target gene, thermolabile hemolysin (tlh), were designed and verified. The duplex ddPCR system and conditions and PMA treatment conditions were optimized. The limit of detection (LOD) for PMA-duplex ddPCR was evaluated and applied to detect V. parahaemolyticus in artificially contaminated samples and actual samples. The results indicate that the optimal duplex ddPCR annealing temperature was 60 °C, the optimal number of amplification cycles was 40, and the optimal ratio of primer to probe was 1:0.5. The optimal PMA treatment conditions were as follows: incubation time 5 min, concentration 30 μmol/L, and exposure time 15 min. The LOD of PMA-duplex ddPCR (7.32 × 10¹ CFU/mL) was lower than that of duplex quantitative PCR (qPCR) (7.32 × 10² CFU/mL). The lowest detectable V. parahaemolyticus in oysters was 8.15 × 10¹ CFU/g without any pre-enrichment. The method established in this study has the advantages of good specificity, high sensitivity and accuracy, which provides an effective method for the detection of viable Vibrio parahaemolyticus in aquatic foods.
