The present invention simply, rapidly and accurately detects,
quantitatively determines and types genes of protein groups [which refer
to TDH (Thermostable direct hemolysin), TRH (TDH-related hemolysin) and
other analogous hemolysin proteins, hereinafter referred to as
TDH-related toxins] of thermostable hemolysin groups produced by
pathogenic bacteria of the genus Vibrio.
Present Invention provides a method which enables detection and
quantitative determination of actual TDH-related toxin-producing
bacteria, which are important in food hygiene control.
Using a primer pair which contains gene sequences encoding common amino
acid sequences of TDH and TRH, TDH-related toxin genes are
comprehensively detected and determined, thereby TDH-related
toxin-producing bacteria themselves are detected and quantitative
determined.
