Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is an insidious scourge that has afflicted millions of people worldwide. Although there are many rapid methods to detect it based on loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and a lateral flow dipstick (LFD), this study made further improvements using a new set of primers to enhance LAMP performance and a novel DNA probe system to simplify detection and increase specificity. The new probe system eliminates the post-LAMP hybridization step typically required for LFD assays by allowing co-hybridization and amplification of target DNA in one reaction while preventing self-polymerization that could lead to false-positive results. The improved assay was named Probe-Triggered, One-Step, Simultaneous DNA Hybridization and LAMP Integrated with LFD (SH-LAMP-LFD). SH-LAMP-LFD was simpler to perform and more sensitive than previously reported LAMP-LFD and PCR methods by 100 and 1000 times, respectively. It could detect a single cell of Mtb. The absence of cross-reactivity with 23 non-TB bacteria, and accurate test results with all 104 blind clinical samples have highlighted its accuracy. Its robustness and portability make SH-LAMP-LFD suitable for users in both low and high resource settings.
