Invasive meningococcal disease, caused by (), is a critical global health issue, necessitating swift and precise diagnostics for effective management and control. Here, we introduce a novel diagnostic assay, NM-RT-MCDA, that combines multiple cross displacement amplification (MCDA) with real-time fluorescence detection, targeting a specific gene region in the genome. The assay utilizes a primer set designed for high specificity and incorporates a fluorophore-quencher pair with a restriction endonuclease site for real-time monitoring.

What Is Already Known About This Topic?: (Nm) is a bacterial pathogen that causes meningococcal disease. Serogroups A, B, C, W, X, and Y account for the vast majority of cases. However, invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) caused by NmY is rare in China and has been reported only in Tianjin, Guangdong, Shanghai, and Hunan provinces and cities.
