Abstract excerpt
Molecular surveillance aimed at identifying the subspecies and lineages of Treponema pallidum is important. Conventional molecular methods for genotyping are effective but are also time-consuming and costly. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a novel loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method using quenching probes to quickly distinguish T. pallidum subsp. pallidum lineages (Nichols, SS14Ω-A,...
