Article Synopsis
  • - This study focuses on a specific foodborne pathogen linked to fatal food poisoning, exploring its ability to produce the dangerous toxin bongkrekic acid (BA) and characterizing its genomic diversity based on 17 strains from Shenzhen City, China.
  • - Genome sequencing revealed that most strains had an approximate size of 8 Mb and a GC content around 68%, with significant evolutionary divergences noted in their genomic structures.
  • - Key findings show that certain strains possess a complete gene cluster necessary for BA production, while others exhibit gene disruptions or lack this cluster, indicating variations in their BA-producing capability and emphasizing the importance of these genomic features in understanding food poisoning risks.

Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is an isothermal amplification technique. Because of its short detection cycle and high specificity, it has been applied in various fields. However, the design of probe on the efficiency of RPA is not well understood and the effect of sequence mismatches of oligonucleotides on the performance of RPA is rarely discussed.
