Development and clinical implications of a novel CRISPR-based diagnostic test for pulmonary Aspergillus fumigatus infection
14 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Rapid and reliable diagnostic methods for Aspergillus fumigatus infection are urgently needed. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-associated protein 13a (Cas13a) has high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of viral infection. However, its potential use in detecting A. fumigatus remains unexplored. A highly sensitive and specific method using the CRISPR/Cas13a...
