Aeromonads possess an array of virulence factors and are causative agents of a number of human infections. Among them, genes of one cytotoxic (Act) and two cytotonic (Alt, Ast) enterotoxins are implicated in a human diarrheal disease. A rapid, specific, simultaneous detection of these enterotoxin genes in suspected food poisoning samples is not yet reported. Hence, a multiplex PCR assay was designed to amplify the cytotoxic (act), heat-labile cytotonic (alt), and heat-stable cytotonic (ast) enterotoxin genes of aeromonads. The PCR assay was tested with 133 Aeromonas spp. isolated from suspect food poisoning samples and retail samples of poultry and fish from wet markets in and around Taipei, Northern Taiwan. The Aeromonas spp. isolates were divided into six genotypes based on absence or presence of one or more enterotoxin genes. Of these 133 isolates, Aeromonas caviae (52.5%) and Aeromonas hydrophila (43.4%) were the most frequently isolated species from food poisoning samples and retail samples, respectively. Among the species, A. hydrophila had a significantly higher proportion for harboring three enterotoxin genes than had the others, whereas Aeromonas encheleia, considered a nonpathogen, was found harboring three enterotoxin genes. The multiplex PCR assays are rapid and specific, and provide a useful tool for the detection and genotyping of enterotoxin genes of aeromonads.

Background and Objectives: Acinetobacter baumannii has been known as a major pathogen causing nosocomial infec- tions. The aim of this study was to develop multiplex PCR for rapid and simultaneous detection of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) genes in clinical isolates of A. baumannii. Materials and Methods: In this study, we used three sets of primers to amplify the MBL genes including bla        ,     bla   and bla   OXA-48 . The multiplex PCR assay was optimized for rapid and simultaneous detection of MBL genes in A. bau-   OXA-23   NDM   mannii strains recovered from clinical samples. Results: A. baumannii strains recovered from clinical samples were subjected to the study. The multiplex PCR produced 3   OXA-48   OXA-23   bands of 501 bp for bla        , 744 bp for bla observed in multiplex PCR.   OXA-48   and 623 bp for bla   NDM   genes. In addition to, no any cross-reactivity was   Conclusion: Based on obtained data, the multiplex PCR had a good specificity without any cross reactivity and it appears that the multiplex PCR is reliable assay for simultaneous detection of MBL genes in A. baumannii strains.
