| Popis: | Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a promising, simple, rapid and sensitive molecular detection method. In the present study, LAMP assay was developed for detecting Clostridium perfringens in chevon. Primers were designed to detect the cpa gene of C. perfringens. A panel of 19 bacterial strains, including 3 C. perfringens and 16 other strains, were included in this study to standardize and evaluate the LAMP assay. No false positive amplification was observed indicating 100% specificity of the assay. The detection limit of LAMP and conventional PCR in the DNA extracted from pure C. perfringens was 0.34 pg and 3.4 pg, respectively. This revealed that LAMP assay is 10 times more sensitive than conventional PCR. The sensitivity of the LAMP assay for the detection of C. perfringens in raw chevon was found to be 1.2 × 102 CFU/g after 6-h enrichment and 1.2 × 105 CFU/g without enrichment in artificial spiking studies. Improved C. perfringens detection of 12 CFU/g within 12 h was obtained proving that LAMP assay is significantly faster than traditional methods that take >2 d. The developed LAMP assay also detected the targeted organism in clinical and environmental samples with the sensitivity and specificity of 97% and 84%, respectively with Kappa agreement of 0.824 respects to PCR assay. This method shows immense potential for routine diagnosis and monitoring of C. perfringens in food, environment and clinical samples. This is the first report in which the LAMP assay was optimized for the detection of C. perfringens in chevon. |
