Abstract:

Isothermal amplification technology is of strong suitability for rapid detection because of its low dependence on instrument and high efficiency of nucleic acid amplification. In recent years,it has been widely used in the field of rapid detection of microorganisms. This article reviewed the development of isothermal amplification technologies,as well as the application in the rapid detection of pathogenic microbial nucleic acid from the perspectives of extraction of nucleic acid,isothermal amplification technologies such as loop-mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP)and recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA),and the detection of product. The article also summarized the latest research achievements of combining isothermal nucleic acid amplification technology with gene editing technology,CRISPR(clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats),in expectation of providing new thoughts for the development of such emerging technologies in the future.

Key words: isothermal amplification technology, genome editing technology, rapid detection, microorganism
