摘要： Streptococcus suis remains a serious threat to the worldwide swine industry and human health. In this study, rapid assays for the detection of three common virulence-related factors (mrp, epf, and sly) were developed, evaluated, and applied. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) primers were designed using Primer Explorer V5 software. The sensitivity and specificity of the LAMP assays were determined based on sample turbidity. For all three genes, LAMP assays were performed at 62 degrees C with a reaction time of 60 min. The detection limit of conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was 1 ng/mu L, 10 pg/mu L, and 100 fg/mu L for the epf, sly, and mrp genes, respectively. For the LAMP assays, the detection limits were 10 pg/mu L, 10 fg/mu L, and 100 fg/mu L for epf, sly, and mrp, respectively, representing sensitivities 100-1000 times higher than those of the PCR assay. Furthermore, when the LAMP assays were applied to clinical strains, the results were consistent with those of the PCR assay, confirming the LAMP assays as rapid and reliable detection techniques. In conclusion, the LAMP assays described in this study have the potential to become standard methods to detect the virulence factors mrp, epf, and sly. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report the application of LAMP to detect the mrp, epf, and sly genes.
