Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a novel nucleic acid amplification method performed under isothermal conditions and has a high specificity and efficiency. We developed a LAMP assay targeting the 16S rRNA gene for rapid detection of Haemophilus parasuis. The results obtained from testing 31 H. parasuis strains and 28 other bacterial species strains showed that LAMP was as specific as, and more sensitive than, nested PCR. Fifty-five lung samples were collected from 55 healthy pigs. All the samples were negative for H. parasuis by bacterial isolation, nested PCR and LAMP, respectively. In addition, 122 lung samples were collected from 122 pigs with apparent respiratory problems. Sixty-five were positive by bacterial isolation. All the samples that were positive by bacterial isolation were also positive by nested PCR and LAMP. The LAMP assay demonstrated higher sensitivity than nested PCR, picking up 16 additional cases. The LAMP assay also gave a same result compared with the nested PCR when the two assays were used, respectively, to detect H. parasuis from samples obtained from experimentally infected pigs. We concluded that LAMP is a highly sensitive and reliable method for detection of H. parasuis infection.
