Abstract:
Cytolethal distending toxins (CDTs) produced by P. alcalifaciens are considered as potential virulence factors. A loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for the detection of cdtA, cdtB, and cdtC genes was established which showed high specificity and strong sensitivity. The LAMP assay showed a detection threshold was 3.13 pg/μl within 40 min.
