Accuracy of Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification for Diagnosis of Human Leptospirosis in Thailand
1 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
There is a lack of diagnostic tests for leptospirosis in technology-restricted settings. We developed loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) specific for the 16S ribosomal RNA gene (rrs) of pathogenic and intermediate group Leptospira species. The lower limit of detection was 10 genomic equivalents/reaction, and analytical specificity was high; we observed positive reactions for pathogenic/intermediate...
