In this study, a single base extension-tag array on glass slides (SBE-TAGS) microarray was established to detect the seven leading seafood-borne pathogens, including Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio mimicus, Vibrio alginolyticus, Vibrio anguillarum, and Vibrio harveyi. Three multiplex PCR assays were developed to specifically target the following species with individual gene markers, which are aadS, tdh, and trh for V. parahaemolyticus; col, toxR, and vvh for V. alginolyticus, V. mimicus, and V. vulnificus; and empA, vhh1, and tcpA for V. anguillarum, V. harveyi, and V. cholerae, respectively. The purified PCR products were used as template DNA for single base extension-tag reactions, labeled with Cy3 fluorescent dye and hybridized to DNA microarrays. The detection specificity of this microarray method was 100%, with the sensitivity for pure genomic DNA at 200 fg to 2 pg per reaction. Application of the DNA microarray methodology to 55 naturally contaminated seafood samples (shrimp, fish, and oysters) revealed the presence of V. parahaemolyticus at 50.9% and V. alginolyticus at 32.7%. This corresponds with traditional assays (microbiological and biochemical tests) except one sample which was identified as negative in V. parahaemolyticus by the microarray assay but as positive by the conventional method. Therefore, a combination of multiplex PCR with DNA microarray hybridization based on SBE-TAGS ensures rapid and accurate detection of pathogenic Vibrio species in seafood, thereby providing safer seafood products for consumers at a low financial burden to the aquaculture industry.
