In this study, we established a multiplex polymerase chain reaction‐denaturing high‐performance liquid chromatography ( MPCR‐DHPLC ) method for rapid detection of the aquatic‐associated pathogens V ibrio cholerae , V . parahaemolyticus , V . vulnificus , V . mimicus , V . alginolyticus and L isteria monocytogenes . Specific primer sets targeting the dnaJ gene of the V ibrio species and the hly gene of L . monocytogenes were used. We also defined the optimal primer concentrations to detect each V ibrio species. We used the MPCR‐DHPLC method to identify target bacteria in aquatic products. Performance characteristics of the MPCR‐DHPLC system showed that it is specific for six common pathogenic bacterial species and can be used for the practical detection of these pathogens in aquatic products. Furthermore, two practical applications of two environmental water samples were tested according to this method by MPCR‐DHPLC , then the results of detection were consistent with conventional tests but faster. It showed that this method proved to be a fast, sensitive and specific tool for V . cholerae , V . parahaemolyticus , V . vulnificus , V . mimicus , V . alginolyticus and L . monocytogenes detection in a routine microbiological laboratory. Practical Applications Various bacterial species can be simultaneously detected with the same PCR reaction. A MPCR‐DHPLC method of identification of various bacterial species was established. This method improves test efficiency and minimizes test time.
