Problems solved by technology

However, these methods are likely to cause bacterial chromosomal mutations during these treatments and lack specificity for plasmid clearance
In addition, the plasmid clearance technology based on the principle of plasmid incompatibility needs to know the replicon information of the target plasmid, which is also not suitable for clinical isolates.

Embodiment 1

[0031] A method for removing drug-resistant plasmids in Enterobacteriaceae bacteria, comprising the following steps:

[0032] (1) Drug-resistant gene information mining: Search and download all blaKPC and blaNDM gene sequences in genbank through NCBI, and use blast to compare the gene sequences to find the consensus sequence of 20 bases next to the PAM motif As a target for the elimination of drug resistance genes;

[0033] The 20-base consensus sequence next to the PAM motif adopts the targeting sequence of the drug-resistant plasmid.

[0034] (2) In step S1, the gene sequence is connected to the gRNA: the targeted sgRNA gene fragment is generated by artificially synthesizing primers and PCR.

[0035] (3) Construct the crispr / cas9 tool plasmids pCureKPC and pCureNDM containing the targeting sequence in the above S1 step.

[0036] (4), replace the resistance markers of pCureKPC and pCureNDM plasmids.

[0037] (5), drug susceptibility test of cre bacterial strain: Utilize di...

[0047] 1. Construction of tool plasmids for eliminating drug-resistant genes in Enterobacteriaceae

[0048]Target sequence design: According to the basic requirements of CRISPR technology, the guide RNA recognition sequence should have a complementary sequence of 20 bases to the gene to be edited, and this sequence should be adjacent to the PAM motif called NGG. Retrieve and download all blaKPC and blaNDM gene sequences in genbank through NCBI, and use blast to compare each gene sequence to find the target of drug-resistant gene elimination. The results are as follows:

[0049] N20-KPC: CAATTTGTTGCTGAAGGAGT

[0087] Explore the best arabinose induction concentration and induction time

[0088] 1. The overnight culture of the strain containing the pCure-arr-KPC plasmid was diluted 1000 times in 5 ml of LB broth containing 0.2% arabinose and 100 ug / mL rifampicin. Arabinose was induced for 0, 2, 4, 6, and 16 hours, respectively, and then the cultures were inoculated on double antibody plates containing doripenem / rifampicin and monoclonal antibody plates on LB agar containing rifampicin, and the concentration of doripenem was determined. The colony ratio of Nan / rifampicin double-antibody plate and rifampin antibody plate was used to calculate the clearance rate.

[0089] 2. In order to evaluate the optimal arabinose concentration, the overnight culture of the strain carrying the pCure-arr-KPC plasmid was diluted 1000 times in 5 ml of LB medium containing 0.02%, 0.2%, 2% arabinose, and incubated at 37°C Growth with shaking (250 rpm)) for 6 hours. Cultures were diluted and plated on LB...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for removing drug-resistant plasmids in enterobacteriaceae bacteria. The method includes the following steps: mining drug-resistant gene information: searching and downloading all blaKPC and blaNDM gene sequences in a genbank through NCBI, performing comparison on the gene sequences by using blast respectively, and taking consensus sequences of 20 bases next to a proto-spacer adjacent motif (PAM) as removing targets for drug-resistant genes. According to the method for removing the drug-resistant plasmids in the enterobacteriaceae bacteria provided by the invention, the target sequence of the drug-resistant plasmids is disclosed, the sequence can guide Cas9 enzyme digestion protein to perform enzyme digestion on the drug-resistant genes containing the complementary sequences; and the method can directionally and efficiently remove the kpC gene, NDM gene and plasmids carried by carbapenem resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE), provide model strains for functional study of the drug-resistant plasmids, provide a novel idea for prevention and treatment of the CRE, and bring better use prospects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gene editing, in particular to a method for removing drug-resistant plasmids in Enterobacteriaceae bacteria. Background technique [0002] Enterobacteriaceae are a large group of different types of bacteria that commonly cause infections in healthcare settings. The most common of these are Escherichia coli (E.coli) and Klebsiella pneumoniae. When Enterobacteriaceae bacteria develop resistance to carbapenem antibiotics, the bacteria are called carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae, CRE). Currently, CRE is resistant to the vast majority of clinically used antibiotics, posing a huge threat to public health. [0003] Resistance to carbapenems in Enterobacteriaceae is usually the result of bacterial production of carbapenemase, which originates from a carbapenem-encoding gene capable of producing the enzyme. Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC), New Delhi meta...
