Abstract:

This work is to establish a real-time fluorescence detection method of Mycoplasma pneumoniae by the enzymatic recombinase amplification(ERA)technology. Specific primers and probe were designed for M. pneumoniae P1 gene,reaction conditions were optimized,the sensitivity and specificity were evaluated,and the method to clinical samples was validated. The ERA real-time fluorescence method had the amplification ability at 25-40℃,and the amplification effect was the optimal at 35℃,and the amplification was completed within 20 min. The detection limit of M. pneumoniae was 103 copies/μL. There was no cross reaction with other 6 respiratory pathogens,showing good specificity. The diagnostic sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of ERA real-time fluorescence method for 34 clinical samples were 96.15%,100%,100% and 88.89%,respectively,when the results of quantitative PCR detection were used as the standard. The study established a rapid,sensitive and specific method for early and rapid diagnosis of M. pneumoniae nucleic acid,which meets the needs of on-site rapid detection in primary health institutions.

Key words: enzymatic recombinase amplification(ERA), real-time fluorescence detection, Mycoplasma pneumoniae
