Cell. Infect.

Therefore, rapid, accurate, and sensitive diagnosis is crucial for the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases caused by <jats:italic>C. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>. In this study, we combined enzymatic recombination amplification (ERA) with the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)\/CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) 12a system (CRISPR\/Cas12a) to develop a dual detection platform termed the Cpn-ERA-CRISPR\/Cas12a dual system. This system integrates both the ERA-CRISPR\/Cas12a fluorescence system and the ERA-CRISPR\/Cas12a lateral flow system. Detection results can be measured using a fluorescence detector or observed with the naked eye on lateral flow strips. The fluorescence system and the lateral flow system detect <jats:italic>C. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> in 30 minutes and 15 minutes, respectively. This dual system exhibits no cross-reactivity with the other seven pathogens, demonstrating high specificity, and achieves a sensitivity of 10<jats:sup>0<\/jats:sup> copies\/\u00b5L. Additionally, the Cpn-ERA-CRISPR\/Cas12a dual system was employed to analyze 39 clinical samples, comprising 19 positive and 20 negative samples. The detection rate for positive samples was 100%, with no positive results in the negative samples, indicating a high level of concordance with qPCR results. In summary, the Cpn-ERA-CRISPR\/Cas12a dual system represents a novel tool for diagnosing <jats:italic>C. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> and holds promising application potential in grassroots community hospitals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcimb.2024.1477422","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,1]],"date-time":"2024-11-01T06:11:20Z","timestamp":1730441480000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["ERA-CRISPR\/Cas12a-based, fast and specific diagnostic detection for Chlamydia pneumoniae"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Yanxia","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zijun","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shi","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weiwei","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongyu","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongliang","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhongliang","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qilin","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peiyuan","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yimou","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"67","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-12-420037-1.00002-6","article-title":"Reverse-transcription PCR (RT-PCR)","volume":"530","author":"Bachman","year":"2013","journal-title":"Methods enzymology"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"870","DOI":"10.1038\/s41587-020-0513-4","article-title":"CRISPR-cas12-based detection of SARS-coV-2","volume":"38","author":"Broughton","year":"2020","journal-title":"Nat.
