Abstract:
Objective To establish a rapid detection method for Clostridium botulinum in food.Methods A rapid detection method based on RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a was developed by integrating recombinase polymerase amplification(RPA)with the CRISPR-Cas12a system.After the reaction conditions were optimized,the method's sensitivity,specificity,and usefulness were methodically confirmed.Results and Conclusion The optimized method achieved detection within 1 hour,with a limit of detection(LOD)of 1.91 copies/μL.No cross-reactivity was observed with non-target pathogens.The RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a-based detection method developed in this study exhibits high specificity,sensitivity,and operational simplicity and may provide a feasible solution for the rapid detection of foodborne pathogens.
