  • Vibrio assay methods and kits
    Patent number: 10604783
    Abstract: Methods and kits for detection of bacteria, especially Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus, are provided using a unique combination of selective ingredients and two-phase culture (solid-phase culture gel and liquid-phase culture/enrichment broth) allows for high sensitivity and specificity of the kits for growth of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus in the detection methods and kits. The invention, through the detection mechanism accomplished by the novel formulation of selective ingredients and the two-phase culture, allows for real-time detection of a single cell of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus within 24±2 hours of introducing a target sample to the Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus detection kits.
