The antiviral medications available for the treatment of HBV infection do not suffice for the serious complications related to chronic HBV infection. Additionally, the serological tests fail to detect early viral replication preventing early treatment response. Recently, many studies have demonstrated the significant advantages of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) over serological testing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), for the rapid detection of microbial pathogens. Here we developed a rapid, sensitive, and portable system-integrative LAMP assay for the detection of HBV DNA in plasma samples. The final optimized assay was achieved with an amplification time of less than 45 min at 62°C. The assay showed 100% specificity, 92.20% sensitivity, and a detection limit of 10 copies/µL in 77 HBV-positive plasma samples with known Cq values. Our results showed that the colorimetric LAMP assay is sensitive, efficient, and supremely reliable for rapid detection of HBV, and may be potentially used as a screening test in areas with poor laboratory facilities and limited resource availability.","PeriodicalId":14608,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of infectious diseases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138459899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of residual drugs is not widespread owing to concerns regarding bacterial contamination. We combined anticancer drugs and bacteria to investigate their effects on bacterial growth. The anticancer drugs carboplatin, paclitaxel, etoposide, irinotecan, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) were mixed with Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Serratia marcescens, and Escherichia coli. After a certain period, the bacteria were counted. Irinotecan showed no antibacterial activity, whereas 5-FU exhibited high antibacterial activity against the tested bacteria. The 5-FU also showed a minimum inhibitory concentration value in the range of 8-80 μg/mL, depending on the bacterial species. 5-FU dose-dependently inhibited S. aureus growth at more than 0.8 µg/mL. Because protein synthesis systems are reportedly antibiotic targets, we used a cell-free protein synthesis system to confirm the mechanism of the antibacterial activity of the anticancer agent. 5-FU and methotrexate had direct inhibitory effects on protein synthesis. It has been suggested that even if residual drugs are contaminated with bacteria, there will be no microbial growth, or the microbes will be killed by the drug. With careful monitoring, 5-FU can potentially be used for antimicrobial purposes.","PeriodicalId":14608,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of infectious diseases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71423603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
