Development of a sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and digoxigenin (DIG)-labeled in situ hybridization (ISH) for the detection of Vibrio bacteria in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas

Vibrio bacteria are one of the greatest threats to aquaculture, with Vibrio-associated mass mortality events occurring in all life stages worldwide. Vibrio aestuarianus is particularly problematic in Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas cultures. A diagnostic method used to detect V. aestuarianus is qua...

Development of a sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and digoxigenin (DIG)-labeled in situ hybridization (ISH) for the detection of Vibrio bacteria in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas
description Vibrio bacteria are one of the greatest threats to aquaculture, with Vibrio-associated mass mortality events occurring in all life stages worldwide. Vibrio aestuarianus is particularly problematic in Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas cultures. A diagnostic method used to detect V. aestuarianus is quantitative (q)PCR and a confirmatory method is fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). These methods require specialized equipment and incur high costs. The objective of this study was to develop a novel generic (relating to a genus) PCR and DIG-labeled in situ hybridization (ISH) for the detection and confirmation of Vibrio. A PCR that detects all Vibrio spp. is particularly useful for blanket screening of hosts and environmental samples, while ISH facilitates the visual localization of bacteria.
