Abstract:
In this study, we report the development of a helicase-dependent amplification assay for rapid detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). By applying a step-by-step optimization method, the amplification time from an input of 2-copy MTB genomic DNA was reduced from about 60 min to less than 30 min.
