| Abstract: | Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is an important food-borne pathogen which poses a severe threat to public health worldwide. Rapid detection of S. aureus with high sensitivity is of particular importance for food safety. In this study, a novel single primer isothermal amplification (SPIA) method was established to detect S. aureus in food, targeting the accessory gene regulator (agr) gene with a DNA/RNA primer. The developed SPIA method has the advantages of visualization and avoiding tedious electrophoresis. In order to confirm the specificity of this method, 7 S. aureus strains and 26 non-S. aureus strains were detected with their pure cultures. The sensitivity and detection limit of S. aureus with artificially inoculated raw pork products by SPIA were evaluated through fluorescence and turbidity by naked eye and the amplification curve, which were 4.3?×?100 CFU/mL and 5.6?×?100 CFU/g, respectively. Compared with the conventional PCR method, the SPIA has 100-fold higher sensitivity and 100-fold lower detection limit. Therefore, the developed SPIA method is a potentially reliable tool for rapid and visual detection of S. aureus in food. |
