background and objectives: loop-mediated isothermal amplification is a novel nucleic acid amplification assay providing as a simple diagnostic tool for rapid identification of microbial diseases in developing countries. in this study, a lamp assay was established for yersinia enterocolitica , a leading cause of acute enterocolitis in young children. materials and methods: lamp assay was establi...

background and aims: considering difficulties in usual laboratory methods in detection of viral infections, improved dna-based diagnostic techniques are more reliable. loop mediated isothermal amplification method (lamp) is a nucleic acid amplification method that amplifies dna using six primers which has been developed to diagnose viruses as a rapid and high efficiency test. in this study, the...

conclusions the analytical sensitivity of lamp and pcr methods, using the designed primers, was 8 times more than any other reported methods. the designed methods are specific and sensitive for detection of h. pylori in different clinical and environmental samples. results the detection limits of the lamp and pcr assay were similar and were 10 fg of pure dna of h. pylori, which is equal to 6 co...

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a gene amplification method which amplifies DNA with high specificity and efficiency under isothermal conditions. Because of its rapidity and simplicity, it is a valuable diagnostic tool in the early detection and identification of infectious diseases. LAMP method is based on the use of a set of four to six specially designed primers spanning six...

Herpetic keratitis which is resulted from herpes simplex virus type I, is considered the most common cause of corneal blindness that needs being diagnosed and treated in order to prevent irreversible eye effects. The best method to diagnose it is molecular method which has high sensitivity and exclusivity. The current study was done on 25 eye samples collected from patients referred to the Feyz...
