Detection of V. cholerae amplification using purified DNA. NTC represents no added V. cholerae DNA. (A) Real-time fluorescence was monitored over a 20-minute LAMP reaction for initial DNA concentrations between 100–105 DNA copies/reaction and (B) the corresponding CT values were recorded for each reaction and are not available (NA) for samples that did not amplify. (C) A 2% agarose gel confirms amplification and presents the DNA banding pattern of LAMP amplicons at the different dilutions. (D) Box plots of the average change in fluorescence (ΔEvaGreen/Rox) shows a trend of a greater change in fluorescence signal at higher initial V. cholerae DNA concentrations with statistical differences for samples 102 (***p-value < 0.001), 103, 104, and 105 (****p-value < 0.0001) DNA copies/reaction when compared to NTC. (E) Particle diffusometry measurements of the viscosity change of LAMP reactions show statistically significant measurements for 102 (*p-value < 0.05), 104, and 105 (****p-value < 0.0001) DNA copies/reaction when compared to NTC. (D,E) Statistical analysis was a one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post-hoc relative to NTC (n = 3). (F) A positive correlation between change in fluorescence and PD yields a Pearson’s correlation coefficient of 0.81.
