Multi-pathogen wastewater surveillance in Uganda with CRISPR Cas 12/13 assay: A pilot study
REFNo: HS4139ES
The proposed research will test the overarching hypothesis that wastewater pathogen burden measured by SHINE and CARMEN CRISPR-based platforms will positively correlate with the prevalence (for routine pathogens) and incidence (for outbreak pathogens) within our catchment areas,Our second objective involves leveraging the massive multiplex CARMEN assay to broadly survey for high-priority outbreak pathogens such as Ebola, yellow fever, Vibrio cholera and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in regional Kampala wastewater sources (East Bugolobi treatment plant and Nakivubo channels). As an advantage, CARMEN reactions have already been developed for all of these pathogens, which are also shed in human excrement,As our first objective, we propose to assess the performance of the field-deployable SHINE CRISPR assay (benchmarked against CARMEN) in estimating the prevalence of diverse respiratory and food-borne pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, common respiratory viruses, and antimicrobial-resistance genes (e.g. Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae [CRE], vancomycin-resistant enterococci [VRE]) using wastewater samples from a local sewage line (Mulago Hospital). ,
