The conventional diagnosis of infection depends on time-consuming, culture-based gold-standard methods. Here, a multiple cross displacement amplification (MCDA) assay, combined with a gold nanoparticle-based lateral flow biosensor (LFB) visualization method, was developed for the rapid detection of .
