Article Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to establish a highly sensitive and rapid single-tube, two-stage, multiplex recombinase-aided qPCR (mRAP) assay to specifically detect the khe, bla, and bla genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Methods: mRAP was carried out in a qPCR instrument within 1 h. The analytical sensitivities of mRAP for khe, bla, and bla genes were tested using recombinant plasmids and dilutions of reference strains. A total of 137 clinical isolates and 86 sputum samples were used to validate the clinical performance of mRAP.

Results: mRAP achieved the sensitivities of 10, 8, and 14 copies/reaction for khe, bla, and bla genes, respectively, superior to qPCR. The Kappa value of qPCR and mRAP for detecting khe, bla, and bla genes was 1, 0.855, and 1, respectively (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: mRAP is a rapid and highly sensitive assay for potential clinical identification of khe, bla, and bla genes in K. pneumoniae.

In Zambia, 40% of clinical Gram-negative bacteria are either Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae, with a high third-generation cephalosporin (3GC) resistance prevalence. Therefore, 3GC resistance surveillance is a crucial indicator for guiding focused intervention policies. However, the lack of genotypic diagnostic tools limits the ability to elucidate trends, especially in peri-urban and rural areas of developing countries.

() is recognized as a zoonotic pathogen with an increasing threat to livestock and poultry. However, research on of animal origin remains limited. To address the gap, a comprehensive investigation was carried out by collecting a total of 311 samples from the farms of four animal species (dairy cow, chicken, sheep, and pig) in selected areas of Xinjiang, China.

Article Synopsis
  • * Our results showed that while no combination completely inhibited the rtRPA reaction, the autofluorescence depended significantly on the materials used and the specific wavelength tested.
  • * Ultimately, we successfully detected specific genes using these 3D printed monolithic microreactors, achieving a high sensitivity comparable to traditional methods, and demonstrated that these devices could be manufactured for efficient rtRPA applications.
