METHOD FOR DETECTING NEISSERIA MENINGITIDIS USING LOOP-MEDIATED ISOTHERMAL AMPLIFICATION (LAMP) ASSAY

摘要

The present invention provides a method of rapidly, simply and accurately detecting N. meningitidis, a primer set for detecting the same, and a kit for detecting the same. The method of detecting N. meningitidis of the present invention comprises: amplifying a target N. meningitidis nucleic acid using a LAMP primer set comprising one or more types of primers each having a nucleotide sequence that is identical to or complementary to at least a part of N. meningitidis nucleic acid; and detecting the amplified product.
