Abstract:
Here we report a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for detecting Shigella and enteroinvasive Escherichia coli. The target for this LAMP method is the ipaH gene which is carried by both of the pathogens. The LAMP method efficiently detected the gene within 2 h at a minimal amount of bacteria (8 CFU) per reaction.

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.
