LAMP is more sensitive in the detection of cdtB than PCR amplification. Comparative sensitivities of cdtB detection by (A) real-time turbidimeter observations of the LAMP assay, (B) visual observation of the LAMP assay and (C) traditional PCR. Tubes 1–9 and lanes 1–9 contain a 10-fold serial dilution of pure genomic DNA extracted from C. difficile (from 24.8 ng/µl to 0.000248 pg/µl); tube 10 and lane 10 contain ddH2O as a negative control. Marker lane, DL-2000. LAMP, loop-mediated isothermal amplification; cdt, Clostridium difficile transferase; PCR, polymerase chain reaction.
