Loop-mediated isothermal amplification for Candida s pecies surveillance in under-resourced setting: a review of evidence.

LAMP has been studied for species identification, including the NACS. Besides a short turnaround time, LAMP has analytical sensitivity and specificity that are not only higher than culture method but also comparable with conventional and quantitative PCR techniques. However, extensive evaluation of LAMP for species detection using various types of clinical and environmental samples are required before deploying the technique for species surveillance.
