摘要
目的 本研究拟建立一种灵敏快速的实时荧光定量PCR(real-time quantitative PCR,qPCR)方法,用于检测大、小鼠木糖葡萄球菌(Staphylococcus xylosus,S.xylosus).方法 本研究选择特异性gehM基因片段作为靶标合成了一套引物,建立了木糖葡萄球菌检测的qPCR方法.对木糖葡萄球菌标准菌株和其他非目标菌进行特异性分析.将木糖葡萄球菌的DNA进行10倍稀释测定其灵敏度.用送检的样本进行了临床应用并测序验证,同时与培养法进行比较.结果 仅木糖葡萄球菌出现特异性扩增曲线,而其他非目标菌未出现,表明设计的引物对木糖葡萄球菌具有特异性,灵敏度为100fg/μL,组内和组间重复性均小于3%.共检测60份临床样品,有5份样品扩增曲线为典型的S曲线,将该qPCR产物克隆测序并进行同源性比对,该序列与木糖葡萄球菌的同源性为99.63%,表明该样本木糖葡萄球菌核酸阳性,所检测样本阳性率为8.3%,而培养法的阳性率为6.7%,qPCR方法阳性检出率比培养法略高.结论 建立的木糖葡萄球菌qPCR方法,具有快速、灵敏度高、特异性强和重复性好的优点,可用于实验动物木糖葡萄球菌的检测.
Abstract
Objective To establish and evaluate a method for rapid and sensitive S.xylosus detection using qPCR(real-time quantitative PCR).Methods A gehM gene fragment was selected as the target for S.xylosus.A set of specific primers was synthesized and a qPCR method was established to detect S.xylosus.A S.xylosus standard strain and other non-target strains were chosen for analysis.DNA of S.xylosus was diluted 10-fold to determine its sensitivity.Clinical samples were tested,and positive products were sequenced.The result were compared with those of bacterial culture.Results S.xylosus had a specific amplification curve,whereas other non-S.xylosus species did not,indicating that the primers were specific for S.xylosus.Sensitivity was 100 fg/μL DNA.Repeatability within and between groups was less than 3%.A total of 60 clinical samples were analyzed,of which five samples had a typical S curve.qPCR products were sequenced and BLAST searched.The similarity of the gene sequences was 99.63%,indicating that the sample was positive for the S.xylosus gehM gene with a positivity rate of 8.3%.However,the positivity rate of bacterial culture was 6.7%.The positivity rate of qPCR was slightly higher than that of the culture.Conclusions The established qPCR method is rapid with high sensitivity and specificity,and can be used to detect S.xylosus.
