Abstract

ABSTRACT We have developed a hexaplex PCR assay for rapid detection of the virulence and regulatory genes for cholera toxin enzymatic subunit A ( ctxA ), zonula occludens toxin ( zot ), accessory cholera enterotoxin ( ace ), toxin-coregulated pilus ( tcpA ), outer membrane protein ( ompU ), and central regulatory protein ToxR ( toxR ) in Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio mimicus . This hexaplex PCR proved successful in screening pathogenic-toxigenic and nonpathogenic-nontoxigenic V. cholerae and V. mimicus strains from both clinical and environmental sources.
