Abstract excerpt
Early detection and treatment are paramount for the timely control of Mycobacterium avium infections. Herein, we designed a LAMP assay targeting a widely used species-specific marker IS1245 for the rapid detection of M. avium and evaluated its applicability using human (n = 137) and pig (n = 91) M. avium isolates from Japan. The developed assay could detect as low as 1 genome copy of M. avium DNA within 30...
