In this study, we designed a simple and rapid colorimetric detection method, a one-tube loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP)-PCR-hybridization-restriction endonuclease-ELISA [one-tube LAMP-PCR-HY-RE-ELISA] system, to detect resistance to isoniazid, ethambutol and streptomycin in strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated from clinical specimens. The clinical performance of this method for detecting isoniazid-resistant, ethambutol-resistant and streptomycin-resistant isolates of M. tuberculosis showed 98.9%, 94.3% and 93.8%, respectively. This assay is rapid and convenient that can be performed within one working day. One-tube LAMP-PCR-HY-RE-ELISA system was designed based on hot spot point mutations in target drug-resistant genes, using LAMP-PCR, hybridization, digestion with restriction endonuclease and colorimetric method of ELISA. In this study, LAMP assay was used to amplify DNA from drug-resistant M. tuberculosis, and ELISA was used for colorimetrical determination. This assay will be a useful tool for rapid diagnosis of mutant codons in strains of M. tuberculosis for isoniazid at katG 315 and katG 463, ethambutol at embB 306 and embB 497, and streptomycin at rpsL 43.

While often necessary in sexual assault cases, confirmatory identification of body fluids can be a lengthy and/or costly process. In particular, the detection of vaginal fluid and menstrual fluid in forensic casework is limited to endpoint reverse-transcription PCR to detect fluid-specific messenger RNA (mRNA) markers as there are no robust chemical or enzymatic techniques available for these fluids. Similarly, testing for rectal mucosa is not possible with standard methods, the presence of which would provide probative value in cases of alleged anal penetration, although mRNA-based markers have recently been described.

Unlabelled: serovar Typhimurium (ST) is a predominant serovar causing foodborne illnesses worldwide. Traditional detection methods often face challenges, including the need for specialized equipment, skilled operators, and lengthy procedures. To address these limitations, we developed a rapid, sensitive, and specific ST detection method by integrating loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) with the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and associated protein 12b (CRISPR/Cas12b) system, all within a single tube.

Canine parvovirus (CPV) is one of the main pathogens causing toxic diarrhea in Chinese dogs, is the cause of large-scale epidemic of dogs, and poses a great threat to the dog industry in China. Rapid, sensitive, and specific CPV testing facilitates the timely diagnosis and treatment of sick dogs. The aim of this study was to build a LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12b platform for CPV detection.

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a low-technology molecular assay that is highly adaptable to point-of-care (POC) applications. However, achieving sensitive naked-eye detection of the amplified target in a crude sample is challenging. Herein, we report a simple yet highly efficient and sensitive methodology for the colorimetric visualization of a single target copy in saliva using chitosan-capped gold nanoparticles (Chit-AuNPs) synthesized via a green chemistry approach.
