Abstract
Introduction Streptococcus suis (S. suis) and Glaesserella parasuis (G. parasuis) are prevalent pathogens in pig populations and are often associated with co-infections, leading to substantial economic losses in the swine industry. However, there is currently a shortage of rapid detection methods. In this study, a dual loop-mediated isothermal amplification combined with lateral flow dipstick (LAMP-LFD) assay was developed for the simultaneous and convenient detection of S. suis and G. parasuis. Methods The assay utilized primers targeting the conserved regions of the gdh gene of S. suis and the infB gene of G. parasuis. Optimal primer sets were identified, and reaction conditions, including temperature, time, and primer concentration ratios, were optimized using single-variable control method. The LAMP-LFD assay was established with biotin and digoxin or biotin and 6-FAM-labeled FIP/BIP primers, combined with LFD. Results The assay was most effective at a reaction temperature of 62°C, a primer concentration ratio of 1:4, and a reaction time of 40 minutes. The minimum detection limits were 22 and 18 copies/μL for recombinant plasmids and 19 and 20 CFU for bacterial samples of S. suis and G. parasuis, respectively. The assay showed no cross-reactivity with other pathogens and exhibited high adaptability across various thermal platforms, including PCR instruments, metal baths, and water baths. Clinical testing of 106 samples revealed positive rates of 11.32% (12/106) for S. suis, 25.47% (27/106) for G. parasuis, and 2.83% (3/106) for mixed infections. Discussion This simple, rapid, specific, and sensitive dual LAMP-LFD assay provides robust technical support for the prevention and control of swine streptococcosis and Glässer's disease.

Abstract
Rapid laboratory tests are urgently required to inform antimicrobial use in food animals. Our objective was to synthesize knowledge on the direct application of long-read metagenomic sequencing to respiratory samples to detect bacterial pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) compared to PCR, loop-mediated isothermal amplification, and recombinase polymerase amplification. Our scoping review protocol followed the Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA Scoping Review reporting guidelines. Included studies reported on the direct application of these methods to respiratory samples from animals or humans to detect bacterial pathogens ±ARGs and included turnaround time (TAT) and analytical sensitivity. We excluded studies not reporting these or that were focused exclusively on bioinformatics. We identified 5,636 unique articles from 5 databases. Two-reviewer screening excluded 3,964, 788, and 784 articles at 3 levels, leaving 100 articles (19 animal and 81 human), of which only 7 studied long-read sequencing (only 1 in animals). Thirty-two studies investigated ARGs (only one in animals). Reported TATs ranged from minutes to 2 d; steps did not always include sample collection to results, and analytical sensitivity varied by study. Our review reveals a knowledge gap in research for the direct detection of bacterial respiratory pathogens and ARGs in animals using long-read metagenomic sequencing. There is an opportunity to harness the rapid development in this space to detect multiple pathogens and ARGs on a single sequencing run. Long-read metagenomic sequencing tools show potential to address the urgent need for research into rapid tests to support antimicrobial stewardship in food animal production.

[PMID: 38182383 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.342101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Haemophilus parasuis (H. parasuis) is a gram-negative bacterial pathogen that causes severe infections in swine, resulting in substantial economic losses. Currently, the majority of H. parasuis detection methods are impractical for on-site application due to their reliance on large instruments or complex procedures. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop a rapid, visually detectable, and highly sensitive detection method, especially under resource-limited environments and field conditions. RESULTS In this study, we established a naked eye assay for highly sensitive detection by combining recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) with CRISPR/Cas12a technology. Positive samples exhibited a clear red color visible to the naked eye, while negative samples appeared blue. We achieved a remarkable sensitivity, detecting H. parasuis down to a single copy, with no cross-reactivity with other bacteria. In a mouse model, our assay detected H. parasuis infection nearly 8 h earlier than traditional PCR. Compared to qPCR, our detection results were 100 % accurate. To enhance point-of-care applicability and mitigate the risk of aerosol contamination from uncapping, we consolidated RPA and CRISPR/Cas12a cleavage into a single-tube reaction system. This integrated approach was validated with 20 clinical lung samples, yielding results consistent with those obtained from qPCR. The entire procedure, from DNA extraction to detection, was completed in 35 min. SIGNIFICANCE We present an RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a assay suitable for the early and resource-efficient diagnosis of H. parasuis infections. Its simplicity and visual detection are advantageous for field diagnostics, representing a substantial develpoment in the diagnosis of H. parasuis.

Abstract
Haemophilus parasuis (H. parasuis, HPS) is a prominent pathogenic bacterium in pig production. Its infection leads to widespread fibrinous inflammation in various pig tissues and organs, often in conjunction with various respiratory virus infections, and leads to substantial economic losses in the pig industry. Therefore, the rapid diagnosis of this pathogen is of utmost importance. In this study, we used recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) technology to establish a convenient detection and analysis system for H. parasuis that is fast to detect, easy to implement, and accurate to analyze, known as RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a analysis. The process from sample to results can be completed within 1 h with high sensitivity (0.163 pg/μL of DNA template, p < 0.05), which is 104 -fold higher than the common PCR method. The specificity test results show that the RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a analysis of H. parasuis did not react with other common pig pathogens, including Streptococcus suis type II and IX, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Streptococcus suis, and Staphylococcus aureus (p < 0.0001). The RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a assay was applied to 15 serotypes of H. parasuis clinical samples through crude extraction of nucleic acid by boiling method, and all of the samples were successfully identified. It greatly reduces the time and cost of nucleic acid extraction. Moreover, the method allows results to be visualized with blue light. The accurate and convenient detection method could be incorporated into a portable format as point-of-care (POC) diagnostics detection for H. parasuis at the field level.

Abstract
Staphylococcus spp., especially Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), is an important pathogen in hospital-acquired infection and food poisoning. Here, we developed a multienzyme isothermal rapid amplification combined with duplex quantitative PCR (duplex MIRA-qPCR) method, which can simultaneously detect the S. aureus species-specific conserved gene FMN-bgsfp and the Staphylococcus genus-specific conserved gene tuf. This assay enabled the amplification of DNA within 20 min at a constant temperature of 39 °C. Specificity analysis indicated that all nine common Staphylococcus species were positive and non-Staphylococcus spp. were negative for tuf gene, whereas S. aureus was positive, non-aureus Staphylococci species and non-Staphylococcus spp. were negative for FMN-bgsfp gene, suggesting that duplex MIRA-qPCR exhibited high specificity. Meanwhile, the sensitivity was tested and the limit of detection (LoD) was 3 × 102 CFU/mL. The coefficient variation values ranged from 0.13% to 2.09%, indicating that the assay had good repeatability. Furthermore, all the nine common Staphylococcus species (including S. aureus) could be detected from four kinds of simulated samples and the LoD of S. aureus was 8.56 × 103 CFU/mL. In conclusion, the duplex MIRA-qPCR has advantages of stronger specificity, lower detection threshold, shorter detection time, and simpler operation, which is an effective tool to detect S. aureus and non-aureus Staphylococci spp. infections rapidly.

Abstract
Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV) is a destructive virus that causes serious economic losses in many countries every year, highlighting the importance of its effective detection. In this study, we developed a fast reverse transcription-cross-priming amplification (RT-CPA) coupled with lateral flow dipstick (LFD) diagnostic method for BPMV detection. The RT-CPA-LFD assay that targets the coat protein gene of BPMV was highly specific against diagnosing four other common viruses transmitted by soybean seeds, i.e., Southern bean mosaic virus (SBMV), Tomato ringspot virus (ToRSV), Arabis mosaic virus (ArMV), and Tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV). The sensitivities of the real-time fluorescent RT-CPA and the RT-CPA-LFD assay were at least 50 pg/μl and 500 pg/μl, respectively. Despite a compromise in the limit of detection of the RT-CPA method compared with TaqMan-MGB real-time RT-PCR, our results demonstrated a notably better performance in the detection of field samples of BPMV-infested soybean seeds. With the advantages of efficiency and convenience by visual determination, the RT-CPA-LFD assay presents a potential application for the rapid and accurate detection of BPMV in routine tests.

Abstract
Functionalized DNA sequences are promising sensing elements to combine with transducers for bio-sensing specific target microbes. As an application example, this paper demonstrates in situ detection of loop-mediated isothermal amplification products by hybridizing them with thiolated-ssDNA covalently anchored on the electrodes of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Such hybridization leads to a frequency signal, which is suitable for monitoring real-time LAMP amplification based on mass-sensing: it detects interactions between the complementary nucleobases of LAMP products in solution and the thiolated-ssDNA probe sequence on the gold surface. Target DNA LAMP products cause irreversible frequency shifts on the QCM surfaces during hybridization in the kHz range, which result from both changes in mass and charge on the electrode surface. In order to confirm the LAMP assay working in the QCM sensing system at elevated temperature, the sky blue of positive LAMP products solution was achieved by using the Hydroxy Naphthol Blue (HNB) and agarose gel electrophoresis. Since on-QCM sensing of DNA hybridization leads to irreversible sensor responses, this work shows characterization by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) core spectra of S2p, N1s, Mg1s, P2p and C1s. XPS results confirmed that indeed both DNA and by-products of LAMP attached to the surface. Listeria monocytogenes DNA served to study in-situ detection of amplified LAMP products on DNA-functionalized surfaces.
