The invention discloses loop-mediated isothermal amplification primers and kit for detecting acanthamoeba. The sequences of the primers are represented by SEQ ID No.1, SEQ ID No.2, SEQ ID No.3 and SEQ ID No.4 respectively. The loop-mediated isothermal amplification primers designed according to the sequence of the conserved region of the
gene of the acanthamoeba can flexibly, quickly and safely detect acanthamoeba; meanwhile, in the kit disclosed by the invention, false positive caused by
nucleic acid pollution in a multiple detection process can be radically eliminated by using
uracil-
DNA glycosylase (UNG), so the problem of susceptibility to
pollution and interference, which limits the wide application of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification technique, is solved. When the kit disclosed by the invention is used, the acanthamoeba causing amebic
keratitis can be detected within 3 hours, and instead of expensive instrument and equipment, only a water bath pot or
metal bath and a
centrifuge are needed in a detection process; the detection result is very easy to determine; and compared with the conventional detection technique, the kit is low in cost, the kit is very safe for operators and the environment for the whole process is free from toxic reagents, and the detection sensitivity of the kit is very high.
