Abstract
The present disclosure describes a method for detecting the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a bodily fluid sample. The method utilizes CRISPR effector proteins along with a guide RNA and a reporter molecule, such that when the guide RNA hybridizes with a target nucleotide fragment, the CRISPR effector protein cleaves the reporter molecule, resulting in a detectable signal.
