Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Method Targeting the lytA Gene for Detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae
1 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
It is difficult to separate Streptococcus pneumoniae from the genotypically similar species Streptococcus mitis and Streptococcus oralis, which are commensals of the human oral cavity. A novel nucleic acid amplification technique, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), which amplifies DNA under isothermal conditions (63 degrees C) with high specificity, efficiency, and rapidity, was examined regarding its...
