Whole-genome sequences of Salmonella serovars were obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database GenBank (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/, Bethesda, MD, USA) and compared using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST, https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi) to identify potential serovar-specific genome regions. Whole genome sequences (in GenBank format) of one representative of each serovar were compared in subsections of 100,000 base pairs in length using BLAST search to identify regions of lower sequence homology to other serovars. These regions were then used to calculate LAMP primer sets and the calculated amplicons were in turn analyzed for specificity by BLAST analysis once again. LAMP primer sets targeting the identified specific DNA sequences were designed via LAMP Designer software 1.16 (PREMIER Biosoft, San Francisco, CA, USA; Table 1).
