Abstract

We developed a rapid insulated isothermal PCR (iiPCR) assay for on-site detection of Mannheimia haemolytica using a primer and probe set targeting the superoxide dismutase (sodA) gene. Our iiPCR assay detected M. haemolytica clinical isolates successfully and produced negative results on other bovine or ovine respiratory pathogens, including Histophilus somni, Bibersteinia trehalosi, Trueperella pyogenes, Streptococcus suis, and Mycoplasma spp., indicating that the PCR reactions were specific. Additionally, our iiPCR assay detected as few as 21 copies of genomic DNA and 17.2 cfu/mL of bacterial culture, which was 10 and 100 times more sensitive than conventional PCR, respectively. Our iiPCR assay can be performed on a portable device in a total of 58 min and may be a useful tool for the detection of M. haemolytica in bovine and ovine respiratory disease in the field.
