Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) kit for rapid detection of multiple bacteria involved in neonatal sepsis. LAMP is a simple rapid diagnostic tool for early detection and identification of microbial pathogens. As a unique single tube method, it can amplify DNA efficiently (up to 109 target DNA copies) within an hour under isothermal conditions (60-65°C) without a need for complex instruments or skilled expertise.
This kit is designed as an affordable point of care device for the resource limited settings. It offers a faster, portable, and cost-effective alternative. We have developed this kit for specific detection of eight bacterial pathogens from blood. This will help in the quick identification of bacteria within 45-60 minutes by helping the clinicians to choose timely treatment with the right antibiotics in preventing neonatal deaths. Also, it can help reduce the overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics and contribute to combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
