Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is an appealing technology for point-of-need diagnostics due to its rapid analysis time and minimal instrumentation requirements.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Here, we designed and optimized nine LAMP assays that are sensitive and specific to targeted bacterial select agents including <jats:italic>Bacillus anthracis, Francisella tularensis<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Yersinia pestis<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Brucella<\/jats:italic> spp. Evaluation of each assay determined preliminary limit of detection (LOD) with LOD confirmed across 60 replicates (\u2265\u200995% positivity rate).
