Simple, sensitive, and visual detection of 12 respiratory pathogens with one‐pot‐RPA‐CRISPR/Cas12a assay

copies/μL plasmids, with no cross-reaction with other bacteria or viruses. Additionally, the clinical utility was evaluated by testing clinical isolates of bacteria and virus throat swab samples, demonstrating favorable performance. Thus, our one-pot-RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a method shows immense potential for accurate and large-scale detection of 12 common respiratory pathogens in point-of-care testing.
