What is Ultrasensitive microchip electrophoretic detection of the mecA gene in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) based on isothermal strand-displacement polymerase reaction about?

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the main pathogens involved in hospital and community infection. To rapidly and sensitively detect the mecA gene, which is relevant to methicillin-resistant strains, microchip electrophoresis (MCE) integrated with isothermal strand-displacement polymerase reaction (ISDPR) was developed. In the ISDPR signal recycle amplification, the target DNA opened the DNA hairpin structure by specifically binding with the hairpin probe (HP), and then the primer hybridized with the probe and released the target DNA in the presence of Klenow Fragment exo (KF exo) polymerase. The released target DNA hybridized with the next HP and then was displaced by the primer again, consequently achieving target recycling and amplification. The amplified products of the HP-cDNA duplex were separated rapidly from other DNAs by MCE. Under optimal conditions, the limit of detection of the target DNA was as low as 12.3 pM (S/N = 3). The proposed ISDPR with MCE method was also successfully applied to detect methicillin-resistant S. aureus, and the experimental results showed that it had some advantages such as being label free, ultrasensitive, rapid and we
