Development of a pair of real-time loop mediated isothermal amplification assays for detection of Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague.

Abstract:

:Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague mainly infects rodents, while humans are the accidental host. The conventional diagnostic methods available for Y. pestis exhibit cross-reactivity with other enteropathogenic bacteria which makes its detection difficult. Rapid and reliable point-of-care detection of Y. pestis is essential for timely initiation of medical treatment. In the present study, a pair of loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays has been developed for rapid detection of Y. pestis. Two sets of LAMP primers, each containing 6 primers were specifically designed targeting caf1 and 3a genes located on pFra plasmid and chromosome of Y. pestis, respectively. Isothermal amplification was accomplished at 65 °C for 40 min for caf1 target, and at 63 °C for 50 min for 3a choromosomal target. The analytical sensitivity of the assay for the caf1 and 3a targets was found to be 500 fg and 100 fg genomic DNA of Y. pestis, respectively. The caf1 and 3a LAMP assays detected as few as 100 copies of caf1 and 10 copies of 3a gene targets harboured in the respective recombinant plasmids. The amplified products were detected visually under visible and UV light using SYBR Green 1 dye. The assay pair was found to be highly specific as it did not cross-react with closely related and other bacterial species.
