Detection of Streptococcus equi subsp. equi in guttural pouch lavage samples using a loop‐mediated isothermal nucleic acid amplification microfluidic device

Abstract Background Rapid point‐of‐care (POC) detection of Streptococcus equi subsp. equi (S. equi) would theoretically reduce the spread of strangles by identifying index and carrier horses. Hypothesis That the eqbE isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay, and the same eqbE LAMP assay tested in a mic...
