Title: LAMP Assays for the Simple and Rapid Detection of Clinically Important Urinary Pathogens Including the Detection of Resistance to 3rd Generation Cephalosporins
Abstract:Background: Timely and accurate identification of uropathogens and determination of their antimicrobial susceptibility is paramount to the management of urinary tract infections (UTIs). The main objective of this study was to develop an assay using LAMP (Loop mediated isothermal amplification) technology for simple, rapid and sensitive detection of the most common bacteria responsible for UTIs, as well as for the detection of the most prevalent genes (encoding cefotaximases from CTX-M group 1) responsible for … Show more
