Abstract: In recent 20 years,isothermal amplification technology has been rapidly developed. Relying on the advantage of the isothermal reaction,it is gradually replacing the traditional in vitro PCR(polymerase chain reaction)amplification,and plays an important role in different fields such as clinical medicine,laboratory medicine,molecular biology,genomics,food safety,and especially in the detection of pathogenic bacteria,viruses and other microorganisms. This article reviews and compares more than 10 kinds of high-profile isothermal amplification technologies,mainly focusing on the reaction principles,advantages,disadvantages as well as the development and application,and finally prospects the trends of isothermal amplification techniques,in order to play a positive role in the development of the related research fields.

Key words: isothermal amplification, microorganisms, nucleic acid, rapid detection?
