  ABSTRACT: Objective: To develop a duplex real-time PCR assay for pharmaceutical rapid microbial detection of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Methods: The specific primers and probes were designed to amplify the femB gene of S. aureus and the DNA gyrase subunit B gene of P. aeruginosa. The sensitivity of the system was detected by a multiple proportional dilution method. In order to examine the specificity of the system, other twenty-one bacteria strains were assayed simultaneously. Results: A highly sensitive and specific duplex real-time PCR assay for the detection of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa was established. The sensitivity was 50 copies/μL. The specificity was 100%. The whole detection procedure can be finished within 2.5 h. Conclusion: The duplex real-time PCR method is efficient in detecting with good sensitivity and specificity. There is a good prospect of this method applying in disease prevention and pharmaceutical industry due to the simultaneous detection of two pathogens.
