This invention discloses a primer and probe set, kit, and method for detecting
carbapenem resistance genes using point-of-care testing (POCT), belonging to the field of
gene detection technology. The
carbapenem resistance genes include: NDM, KPC, VIM, IMP, OXA, and GES; the primers and probes for the NDM
gene include: SEQ ID NO.1, SEQ ID NO.2, and SEQ ID NO.3; the primers and probes for the KPC
gene include: SEQ ID NO.4, SEQ ID NO.5, and SEQ ID NO.6; the primers and probes for the VIM gene include: SEQ ID NO.7, SEQ ID NO.8, and SEQ ID NO.9; the primers and probes for the IMP gene include: SEQ ID NO.10, SEQ ID NO.11, and SEQ ID NO.12; the primers and probes for the OXA gene include: SEQ ID NO.13, SEQ ID NO.14, SEQ ID NO.15, SEQ ID NO.16, SEQ ID NO.17, SEQ ID NO.18, SEQ ID NO.19, SEQ ID NO.20, and SEQ ID NO.21; and the primers and probes for the GES gene include: SEQ ID NO.22, SEQ ID NO.23, and SEQ ID NO.24. The primer and probe set, kit, and method of this invention can be used to detect
carbapenem resistance genes NDM (75 subtypes), KPC (232 subtypes), VIM (90 subtypes), IMP (101 subtypes), GES (64 subtypes), and OXA-48, 23, 51, and 213 groups in a single detection tube. They have the advantages of short detection time, simple operation, wide coverage, good specificity, and prevention of
contamination.
