Abstract
Seeking optimized infectious pathogen detection tools is of primary importance to lessen the spread of infections, allowing prompt medical attention for the infected. Among nucleic-acid-based sensing techniques, loop-mediated isothermal amplification is a promising method, as it provides rapid, sensitive, and specific detection of microbial and viral pathogens and has enormous potential to transform current point-of-care molecular diagnostics. In this review, the advances in LAMP-based point-of-care diagnostics assays developed during the past few years for rapid and sensitive detection of infectious pathogens are outlined. The numerous detection methods of LAMP-based biosensors are discussed in an end-point and real-time manner with ideal examples. We also summarize the trends in LAMP-on-a-chip modalities, such as classical microfluidic, paper-based, and digital LAMP, with their merits and limitations. Finally, we provide our opinion on the future improvement of on-chip LAMP methods. This review serves as an overview of recent breakthroughs in the LAMP approach and their potential for use in the diagnosis of existing and emerging diseases.

Rapid Detection of Multi-Resistance Strains Carrying mcr-1 Gene Using Recombinase-Aided Amplification Directly on Clinical Samples. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:852488. [PMID: 35432248 PMCID: PMC9009391 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.852488] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
With the increasingly severe problem of bacterial resistance, colistin, as the last line of defense, has attracted attention again. Mobile colistin resistance (mcr-1) gene is involved in the horizontal transmission of colistin resistance in Gram-negative bacteria (GNB), which is a serious threat to human health. Therefore, rapid detection of mcr-1 gene presence in clinical samples is crucial. In this study, a Recombinase-aided amplification(RAA) method for mcr-1 was successfully constructed, with sensitivity of 20 copies/reaction. In addition, amplification signal could only be detected in the strain containing mcr-1 gene among 14 different bacterial species. The method was then used to test a total of 672 clinical samples from a pediatric hospital in Beijing. Five strains harbored mcr-1 genes were isolated from mcr-1-positive clinical samples and identified as Escherichia coli. Multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) analysis showed that the five E. coli belonged to different ST types. Notably, the mcr-1 gene from the isolates could be transferred conjugately to the recipient strain E. coli J53, with highest transfer efficiency up to 57–58%, suggesting that the mcr-1 gene was located on the plasmid. These findings showed that the RAA assay has potential to be a rapid and sensitive mcr-1 gene screening test for clinical samples, and mcr-1 could be transmitted vertically and horizontally between and within bacterial species in a plasmid-mediated manner.
