Abstract: The availability of Smartongue, a bionic sensor, for rapid detection of Vibrio metschnikovii was explored with the aim of proposing a rapid way to detect Vibrio metschnikovii in aquatic products. Smartongue combined with principal component analysis was used to discriminate among liquid cultures of 11 pathogenic Vibrio species to determine the availability of the combined techniques and minimum culture time. Meanwhile, optimal combinations of electrode and frequency were determined and then discrimination models for the detection of Vibrio metschnikovii was set up by combined use of Smartongue and soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA) and validated. Optimal discrimination models were determined for high recognition rates to discover if combined Smartongue and SIMCA could be available for establishing a database for rapid detection of Vibrio metschnikovii. Eleven species of pathogenic Vibrio cultured in specific media for 7 h were successfully discriminated using Smartongue technique. The discrimination models based on 6 combinations of electrode and frequency showed a recognition rate of 100% for all samples. In conclusion, Smarttongue combined with SIMCA is available for rapid detection of Vibrio metschnikovii.
