Drugdu.com expert’s response: In the context of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance, the choice between protein-based and nucleic acid-based detection methods primarily depends on specific surveillance needs, target pathogens, experimental conditions, and cost considerations. Below is a detailed comparison of the two detection methods: I. Advantages of Nucleic Acid Detection High Sensitivity: Nucleic acid detection directly targets the genetic material of pathogens, thus exhibiting high sensitivity. For instance, in tuberculosis AMR surveillance, nucleic acid mass spectrometry can be designed and utilized to identify genetic polymorphisms, achieving highly sensitive detection. High Specificity: With specific primers and probes, nucleic acid detection can achieve specific detection of target pathogens, avoiding false positive results. Rapid Detection Speed: With technological advancements, the turnaround time for nucleic acid detection has shortened, enabling rapid diagnosis of pathogens. Broad Application Range: Nucleic acid detection is applicable not only to bacteria but also to viruses, fungi, and other pathogens for ...
