The invention provides a method, a kit and a
system for detecting intestinal microsporidia based on a
CRISPR-Cas12a technology, belongs to the field of
nucleic acid detection, and aims to solve the problems that an existing intestinal microsporidia detection method is time-consuming, high in cost and low in sensitivity and specificity, and an existing
CRISPR technology is poor in adaptability, insufficient in detection of low
DNA template quantity and the like.
Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and
nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are combined, a conserved
genome sequence of the enterosporidia is taken as a target, high sensitivity of
nucleic acid amplification and high specificity and
signal amplification capability of
CRISPR-Cas12a are fused, the lowest
detection limit reaches 1021M, the lowest
detection limit is far better than the
single use effect of traditional PCR or CRISPR-Cas12a, ultra-sensitive, high-specificity, rapid and low-cost detection is realized, and the kit is suitable for clinical application. The kit is suitable for detecting enterosporidium
pichia early infection or samples with low
DNA template quantity.
