Abstract

In a method for detecting the presence of pathogenic organisms and/or antibiotic resistance genes in a biological sample, the biological sample is lysed to form a lysate and an amplified lysate is generated by performing a nucleic acid sequence-based (NASBA) amplification for a target nucleic acid sequence in the lysate. The NASBA amplification is performed in the presence of: a forward primer; a reverse primer; and a molecular beacon including a fluorophore. The amplified lysate is exposed to an excitation source and a fluorescence of the fluorophore is detected in the amplified lysate exposed to the excitation source. It is determined whether the pathogenic organisms and/or antibiotic resistance genes are present in the biological sample in response to detecting the fluorescence of the fluorophore.
