Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common and leading causes of food poisoning and also responsible for multifarious diseases in humans. Rapid and on-site detection of S. aureus is of specific importance in developing countries. In the present study, a polymerase spiral reaction (PSR) assay was developed for sensitive, rapid and visual detection of S. aureus and validated in meat using pork as a model. The specificity of the PSR assay was ascertained by using 18 S. aureus and 17 non-S.aureus strains. The PSR assay was 100- and 10-fold more sensitive than conventional end-point PCR and real-time PCR, respectively. The limit of detection of the PSR assay was 19.9 x 10(3) CFU/g of pork without enrichment and 19.9 CFU/g after 6 h enrichment. The detection of 19.9 CFU/g of pork was attained within 8 h. Real-world or field applicability of the developed assay was evaluated by screening 76 raw and processed pork samples. Seeing its rapidity, simplicity, cost-effectiveness, user-friendliness and sophisticated-equipment free nature, this assay has the prospective to turn into the assay of choice for regular detection of S. aureus in foods in less-advanced laboratories. To our knowledge, this is the first report to use PSR for the detection of S. aureus.
