Sensitive and specific detection of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis by loop-mediated isothermal amplification.

ABSTRACT: We developed a loop-mediated isothermal amplification method able to detect Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strains in 30 min by using six primers designed by targeting the inv gene. This method is more sensitive than PCR and might be a useful tool for detecting and identifying Y. pseudotuberculosis.
