However, existing laboratory diagnostic methods for M. tuberculosis are time-consuming and have limited sensitivity levels. METHODS: The CRISPR/Cas system, commonly known as the "gene scissors", demonstrates remarkable specificity and efficient signal amplification capabilities. Enzymatic recombinase amplification (ERA) was utilized to rapidly amplify trace DNA ...
