Abstract
We evaluated loop-mediated isothermal amplification end-point detection methods for Salmonella, Shigella, and Vibrio cholerae. Detection sensitivities were comparable to real-time PCR methods. The colorimetric dyes hydroxynaphthol blue and SYBR Green I showed increased sensitivity when compared to visual and automated turbidity readings. End-point colorimetric dyes promise great utility in developing settings.
