Abstract

A rapid detection method for Lactobacillus crispatus and Lactobacillus iners, which are important for maintaining a healthy vaginal environment, was developed using loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). The LAMP assay had a lower limit of detection of 10 fg DNA and could detect both species within 45 min.

Keywords: Bacterial vaginosis; LAMP; Lactobacillus crispatus; Lactobacillus iners; Loop-mediated isothermal amplification; Rapid detection.
