Development of a loop‐mediated isothermal amplification assay for specific detection of all known subspecies of <i>Clavibacter michiganensis</i>

Abstract

The developed LAMP assay can detect all known subspecies of C. michiganensis. The LAMP process can be performed isothermally at 65°C and results can be visually assessed, which makes this technology a promising tool for monitoring the disease progression and for accurate pathogen detection at point-of-care.
