Diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis by multi‐targeted (<i>mpt64</i> and IS<i>6110</i>) loop‐mediated isothermal amplification assay

Abstract

Both gel-based and SYBR Green MT-LAMP exhibited equivalent sensitivities to diagnose abdominal TB. Because SYBR Green LAMP is easier to perform than a gel-based assay, we are currently focused on improving the specificity of this assay so as to develop a diagnostic kit.
