ABSTRACT
Enterobacter cloacae exhibits strong adhesion and invasion properties that contribute its ability to infect the host; it is considered an important opportunistic pathogen throughout the world. To control the spread of E. cloacae, simple, rapid, and accurate detection methods are required. Current methods suffer from various shortcomings and do not meet the demand for on-site quickly detection. Using recombinase polymerase amplification combined with lateral flow strip (RPA-LFS), an isothermal detection method was developed to target the outer membrane protein X (ompX) gene of E. cloacae. This reaction can be performed in 30 min at 37 °C. Limit of detection of 10 CFU/reaction was equivalent to that of the qPCR method. The detection accuracy of clinical samples was also equal to that of the qPCR method. In this study, we developed the RPA-LFS assay, which is simple, rapid, accurate, and does not require a laboratory facility. This assay may prove useful for detecting E. cloacae on-site.
