Article Synopsis
- The study presents a new PCR-based multiplex assay called icosaplex (20-plex) designed to detect 18 enteropathogens and 2 antimicrobial resistance genes with high sensitivity and specificity.
- It utilizes advanced techniques such as self-avoiding molecular recognition system (SAMRS) and artificially expanded genetic information system (AEGIS) to enhance detection while preventing common issues like primer dimer formation.
- The assay was tested on a portable sequencing platform, showing strong agreement in results and demonstrating potential for application in wastewater epidemiology, environmental monitoring, and diagnostics for humans and animals.
