Major health events caused by pathogenic microorganisms are increasing, seriously jeopardizing human lives. Currently PCR and ITA are widely used for rapid testing in food, medicine, industry and agriculture. However, due to the non-specificity of the amplification process, researchers have proposed the combination of nucleic acid amplification technology with the novel technology CRISPR for detection, which improves the specificity and credibility of results. This paper summarizes the research progress of nucleic acid amplification technology in conjunction with CRISPR/Cas technology for the detection of pathogens, which provides a reference and theoretical basis for the subsequent application of nucleic acid amplification technology in the field of pathogen detection.
