The invention discloses a universal
CRISPR / Cas12a (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats /
CRISPR associated 12a)
system, which can realize visual
rapid detection of
acinetobacter baumannii
drug resistance genes. The
system is combined with an
asymmetric PCR technology to amplify one
housekeeping gene and four
drug-
resistant genes of
bacteria to generate a single-stranded
DNA product, so that the amplification efficiency and the
signal intensity are remarkably improved, and a high-specificity substrate is provided for subsequent reaction. The single-chain
amplicon and the modular ring
engineering hairpin are subjected to a strand displacement reaction, and Cas12a
protein activation is accurately regulated and controlled; the activated Cas12a cuts the reporter molecule, and the product presents a visual visual
signal through a lateral flow
chromatography test strip. The strategy has prominent universality, crRNA does not need to be redesigned or an activating agent does not need to be added when five targets are detected, plug-and-play can be achieved only by replacing the hairpin response sequence, and the method can be conveniently expanded to detection of other
bacteria, viruses and
drug-
resistant genes. The
system is easy and convenient to operate, high in specificity and good in stability, provides a simplified and universal
CRISPR diagnosis new scheme for clinical bacterial
genotyping, and has important clinical application and popularization value.
