Diagnosis of Osteoarticular Tuberculosis: Multi-Targeted Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assay Versus Multiplex PCR
20 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
Aim: Diagnosis of osteoarticular tuberculosis (OATB) is quite challenging and there is an urgent need to design a prompt and precise diagnostic test. Methods: We developed a multi-targeted loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay using mpt64 (Rv1980c) and pstS1 (Rv0934) targets for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in OATB patients. Results: The sensitivities of 100 and 82.4% were obtained in...
