Abstract | Bovine brucellosis, predominantly caused by Brucella abortus is one of the most neglected zoonotic diseases causing severe economic losses in the dairy industry. The early and precise diagnosis of the disease is required to reduce the transmission of infection in humans as well as animals. In the current study, a rapid and novel isothermal amplification-based polymerase spiral reaction (PSR) was developed for the specific detection of Brucella abortus by targeting the BruAb2_0168 gene. The assay could be conducted at 65 °C in a water bath and results can be obtained after 60 min. The detection limit of the PSR assay was found to be 1.33 fg. The sensitivity of the assay was found to be 10⁴ fold higher than conventional PCR and equivalent to real-time PCR (RT-PCR). The assay didn't exhibit cross-reaction with selected pathogenic non-Brucella bacteria and Brucella spp. other than B. abortus. Forty clinical samples were also tested using this novel assay and it was able to detect 25 samples as positive, however, conventional PCR could detect the targeted organism in 22 samples only.To the extent of our knowledge, this is the first report towards the development of a PSR assay for specific detection of B. abortus. The assay can be used as a quick, sensitive and accurate test for the diagnosis of bovine brucellosis in the field setting. Relatively one of the paradigm-shifting aspects of this assay would be it does not require any expensive equipment and the results can be easily visualized by the unaided eye, therefore making PSR a valuable diagnostic tool in field conditions. |
