Schematic diagram of CRISPR/Cas12a RR in detecting streptomycin (STR)-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Schematic diagram of Cas12a RR-mediated STR-resistant M.tb genome detection. Specific CRISPR-guided RNAs (crRNAs) targeting the M.tb rpsl gene were designed for STR-resistant M.tb detection. When CRISPR/Cas12a RR proteins cleave double-stranded DNA with the specific crRNA guide, they induce robust and non-specific single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) trans-cleavage. The ssDNA (sequence TTATT) reporter fluoresces when the quenched fluorescent ssDNA is cleaved (Chen et al., 2018; Xiao et al., 2020). F, fluorophore; Q, quencher.
