CRISPR-based biosensing is prospective for rapid and sensitive diagnosis of pediatric tuberculosis

Pediatric tuberculosis (TB) is an important part of global TB prevention and control. Diagnosis of childhood TB still remains challenging when using conventional tests, due to the non-specific clinical manifestations and paucibacillary nature of the specimens. Thus, a sensitive, rapid and low-cost d...

description Pediatric tuberculosis (TB) is an important part of global TB prevention and control. Diagnosis of childhood TB still remains challenging when using conventional tests, due to the non-specific clinical manifestations and paucibacillary nature of the specimens. Thus, a sensitive, rapid and low-cost diagnostic test is of great demand. Benefiting from specific and rapid Cas-protein-based catalytic activities, CRISPR-based biosensing platforms (CRISPR platforms) are showing superiority in detecting pathogen nucleic acid traces in clinical samples. Based on their excellent sensitivity, and time and cost saved in existing research, this study aimed to highlight the potential of CRISPR platforms as a tool for diagnosing pediatric TB, and advocate for studies to evaluate its performance in specimens collected from children, especially noninvasive specimens. These platforms are also promising in identifying drug resistance and genotyping. All of the above will help early diagnosis of pediatric TB, thus guide reasonable treatment, and be significant in achieving the World Health Organization End-TB strategy.
