Abstract:

A novel nucleic acid amplification method, termed loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), which amplifies DNA with high specificity, efficiency, and rapidity under isothermal conditions, may be a valuable tool for the rapid detection of infectious diseases. In this study, two pairs of gene-specific primers for the conservative invA gene were designed to establish a LAMP assay for detecting Salmonella. The assay method was applied to detect meat of different animal species, and proved highly sensitive and specific and time saving.

Key words: loop-mediated isothermal amplification, detection, Salmonella, meat and meat products
