The invention relates to a method for detecting viable
bacteria of
Mycobacterium tuberculosis through isothermal amplification of
nucleic acid and a kit thereof. The method comprises the following detection steps: unlinking an mRNA template of the
Mycobacterium tuberculosis at the temperature of between 60 and 70 DEG C and then reducing temperature; adding
reverse transcriptase, RNaseH and
RNA polymerase, and performing isothermal amplification at the temperature of between 37 and 42 DEG C under the guidance of a primer to obtain
RNA amplicon; and then detecting the
amplicon by utilizing a nanogold probe and a capture probe, and obtaining a detection result through
chromatography hybridization color development reaction. That a color developing stripe appears on a
hybrid membrane represents mRNA positive (the viable
bacteria exist), no stripe represents negative. The kit adopting the method can detect the viable
bacteria of the
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has the advantages of accuracy, sensitivity, simpleness, convenience, quickness and the like, can overcome the defects of long detection time, complex operation, low specificity and the like of the conventional methods, and can serve as an auxiliary experimental means for related researches such as diagnosis and prevention of tuberculosis, observation of
treatment effect, screening of tuberculostatics, and sensitivity experiments.
