Recent studies have reported a high prevalence of blaCTX-M-15 resistance genes, which confer resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics used in humans, and floR, which imparts resistance to florfenicol, a veterinary antibiotic. These genes are being proposed as biomarkers for antimicrobial resistance (AMR). They have been found in E. coli from human, animal, and wastewater samples, underscoring the need for monitoring them. Unfortunately, in most laboratories, there are limitations in acquiring and maintaining high-tech equipment like next-generation sequencing platforms for AMR monitoring. In this study, a molecular detection method for blaCTX-M-15 and floR resistance genes in E. coli ETEC was developed using CRISPR-Cas12a technology coupled with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and basic equipment such as a thermocycler and a transilluminator. CRISPR RNA and primers for the conserved regions of blaCTX-M-15 and floR resistance genes were designed through bioinformatic analysis. Additionally, a nucleic acid amplification and fluorescent detection system was optimized using CRISPR-Cas. The research shows that the system can detect target DNA concentrations as low as 100 aM in a reaction with 30 PCR amplification cycles and a detection time of 1.5 hours. Finally, when comparing the PCR-CRISPR-Cas12a technique for blaCTX-M-15 and floR resistance genes with the disk diffusion and microdilution methods, our results showed good agreement with a kappa index of 1 (p < 0.001). The application of the method shown here is a promising option for detecting antimicrobial resistance genes in resource-limited environments, contributing to better surveillance and control of AMR.
