Popis: | Tuberculosis (TB) is the deadliest infectious caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). Because most TB cases occur within low-income populations, developing a specific, sensitive, cost-saving, and rapid point-of-care test for the early diagnosis of TB is important for achieving the WHO’s End Tuberculosis Strategy. In the current study, a novel nucleic acid detection strategy that includes multiplex loop-mediated isothermal amplification combined with a nanoparticle-based lateral flow biosensor (mLAMP-LFB) was used to detect MTBC. The two sets of LAMP primers specific to the IS6110 and gyrB genes of MTBC were successfully designed and validated for the detection of MTBC. The preferred reaction conditions for this assay were confirmed to be 65 °C for 40 min, and the amplification products could be visually identified through LFB within 2 min. The full assay process, including genomic DNA template extraction, LAMP reaction, and product detection, could be completed in 80 min. The limit detection of the assay was 100 fg of DNA in pure culture. The specificity of the assay was 100%, and it had no cross-reactions to other strains. Thus, the m-LAMP-LFB technology established in the present study was an objective, rapid, simple, and sensitive assay for MTBC identification, which could be applied in a clinical setting, especially in resource-constrained regions of the world. |
