Sensitive and rapid detection of Aeromonas caviae in stool samples by loop-mediated isothermal amplification

Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis. 2008 Jan;60(1):113-6. doi: 10.1016/j.diagmicrobio.2007.07.021. Epub 2007 Nov 19.

Abstract

In this study, a loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay targeting the 16S-23S intergenic spacer regions (internal transcribed spacer) of Aeromonas caviae was developed. Eighteen reference strains and 109 clinical samples were analyzed. The results showed this detection technique is more reliable and convenient compared with common polymerase chain reaction and biochemical culture methods.
