Development and application of loop-mediated isothermal amplification for detection of the F167Y mutation of carbendazim-resistant isolates in Fusarium graminearum.

ABSTRACT: Resistance of Fusarium graminearum to carbendazim is caused by point mutations in the ?2-tubulin gene. The point mutation at codon 167 (TTT ? TAT, F167Y) occurs in more than 90% of field resistant isolates in China. To establish a suitable method for rapid detection of the F167Y mutation in F. graminearum, an efficient and simple method with high specificity was developed based on loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). A set of four primers was designed and optimized to specially distinguish the F167Y mutation genotype. The LAMP reaction was optimal at 63 °C for 60 min. When hydroxynaphthol blue dye (HNB) was added prior to amplification, samples with DNA of the F167Y mutation developed a characteristic sky blue color after the reaction but those without DNA or with different DNA did not. Results of HNB staining method were reconfirmed by gel electrophoresis. The developed LAMP had good specificity, stability and repeatability and was suitable for monitoring carbendazim-resistance populations of F. graminearum in agricultural production.

Resistance of Fusarium graminearum to carbendazim is caused by point mutations in the β2-tubulin gene. The point mutation at codon 167 (TTT → TAT, F167Y) occurs in more than 90% of field resistant isolates in China. To establish a suitable method for rapid detection of the F167Y mutation in F. graminearum, an efficient and simple method with high specificity was developed based on loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP).

Project description:Background and objectivesAcinetobacter baumannii, an opportunistic pathogen, is related to hospital-acquired infections and increased mortality. This study aimed to develop the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) test for the fast-detecting of A. baumannii isolates as well as determining genetic relatedness for these isolates via the REP-PCR technique.Materials and methodsLAMP primers and multiplex PCR primers were designed for recognizing A. baumannii isolates harboring the bla SHV-1 , bla PER-1 , bla TEM-1, AMPC, qnr, and aac (6)-1 genes, were collected (October 2020 to February 2021) from Shahid Motahari Hospital, Tehran, Iran. Combination disc test (CDT) results were used to assess the phenotypic identification of isolates from ESBL producers. The sensitivity of the LAMP method was evaluated using a range of serial dilutions of genomic DNA. Results were compared between the LAMP technique, and multiplex PCR. The genetic diversity of clinical isolates was determined by REP-PCR.ResultsAmong one hundred A. baumannii samples and based on the combined disc test, 56% of isolates were ESBL producers. The sensitivity of the LAMP technique for the identification of A. baumannii was 4.06 ng/μl whilst the multiplex PCR was (16.2 ng/μl). Regarding multiplex PCR, (68%) of the isolates were bla SHV-1 positive, (40%) bla PER-1, (85%) aac (6')-1, AMPC (67%), bla TEM-1 (63%), and (15%) qnr respectively. While in LAMP, (69%) of isolates were bla SHV-1 positive, (86%) aac (6')-1, and (20%) qnr. The results of AMPC, bla TEM-1 , and bla PER-1 genes showed 100% compatibility between multiplex PCR and LAMP assays. The results of REP-PCR indicated there were 17 clones, clone A at 14% was the most prevalent of the isolates.ConclusionWherever equipment and financial constraints are crucial, the LAMP test offers a better and more potent detection rate for the identification of A. baumannii isolates than multiplex PCR. Furthermore, the genetic diversity of A. baumannii in these clinical isolates showed frequent commonality of genotypes.
