Author Spotlight: Advancing Rapid Detection of Respiratory Pathogens Using Microfluidic Chip

This study focused on the rapid of bacterial pathogen, respiratory by Microfluidic chip technology based on loop mediated isothermal implication and the effectiveness of this approach in the management and the control respiratory in the hospitals and the communities. The main challenge of this method is the risk of with its high sensitivity. Which stricter sample handling and the standard operational protocols, to reduce the risk of false positive results.

Additionally, laboratory personnel need to master the relevant skills to effectively apply this method in primary hospitals. Compared to traditional PCR techniques, the Microfluidic chip technology, based on loop mediated isothermal implication, has high specificity and the sensitivity. It can quickly detect up to certain high frequency respiratory pathogens and common resistance genes within one novel.

The technique we demonstrated in this study has important practical implications for the control and treatment of respiratory infections. Helping to prevent the spread of bacterial pathogens and providing guidance for the appropriate antibiotic treatment. We intended to continue developing novel diagnostic methods with a focus on rapid and accurate detection of microbial pathogens causing infectious diseases.

We will also endeavor to work on developing novel-point care testing methods for infectious diseases, that can be easily deployed in resource limited settings like rural China.
