Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to a primer-probe combination, a kit and an application thereof for detecting reproductive tract pathogenic microorganisms. Background Art
[0002] Reproductive tract infection is a global social and public health problem with a high incidence rate worldwide, especially among sexually active people, and the incidence rate in women is significantly higher than that in men. Diseases caused by reproductive tract infection usually include: bacterial vaginosis (BV), aerobic vaginitis (AV), vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), Trichomonas vaginitis (TV) and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). These diseases not only affect the quality of life of patients, but may also lead to serious complications such as infertility, ectopic pregnancy, cervical cancer, etc. Infection during pregnancy may also lead to premature birth, premature rupture of membranes and neonatal infection, affecting the health of two generations.
[0003] Reproductive tract infections usually involve multiple pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Mixed infections and recurrent attacks are the clinical characteristics of this type of disease, and the recurrence rate of mixed infections is much higher than that of single infections. For example, the recurrence rate of simple BV and simple VVC after treatment is <10%, while the recurrence rate of mixed infection of BV+VVC is more than 40%. The prevalence of asymptomatic infection is another characteristic of reproductive tract infection. Many reproductive tract infections may not have obvious symptoms in the early stage, but they are still contagious, especially for men who are not sick. Research data show that about 85% of patients with vaginal trichomoniasis are asymptomatic after infection; the clinical symptoms of gonococcal infection in adult women are atypical, and 50% of asymptomatic infections can only be discovered when complications (such as pelvic inflammatory disease) occur; about 70%~75% of female patients with Chlamydia trachomatis have no conscious symptoms and are easily ignored. Therefore, reproductive tract infections require timely and accurate diagnosis, standardized individualized treatment, synchronous treatment of sexual partners, consideration of drug resistance, and attention to the balance of vaginal ecology.
[0004] At present, the traditional methods commonly used in clinical practice for detecting reproductive tract pathogens include smear microscopy, culture, and serological testing. Smear microscopy is a method of diagnosis by observing cells and microorganisms in wet mounts under a microscope. It is simple and rapid, but its sensitivity and specificity are relatively low, and it requires high experience from the operator. The culture method can provide confirmed information, but it has limitations such as being time-consuming, requiring high experimental conditions, and being susceptible to contamination, and it is only applicable to a small number of pathogens. Serological testing is simple and rapid to operate, but it also has the problem of low sensitivity, which can easily lead to missed detection and misdiagnosis.
[0005] Compared with traditional detection methods, nucleic acid detection methods have higher sensitivity and specificity, can significantly improve the detection rate of pathogens, help clinical implementation of early diagnosis and timely treatment, and gradually become the mainstream method for the detection of reproductive tract pathogens. At present, the nucleic acid detection technologies used for reproductive tract pathogens mainly include fluorescent quantitative PCR, second-generation sequencing, PCR-reverse dot hybridization, etc. The second-generation sequencing technology has many detection targets and good specificity, but the operation is cumbersome, the speed is slow, the cost is high, and the detection throughput is low. The detection throughput of PCR-reverse dot hybridization is relatively high and the cost is low, but there are disadvantages such as fewer detection targets, cumbersome operation, and slow speed. Fluorescent quantitative PCR technology has the characteristics of simple operation, fast speed, low cost, high sensitivity, good specificity, etc., and is widely used in clinical practice. However, the number of pathogens detected by the fluorescent quantitative PCR technology for reproductive tract pathogens currently used in clinical practice is small, and there is a lack of consideration for the ecological balance of the vagina, which cannot meet clinical needs.

Such equivalents are intended to be encompassed by the claims.
[0031] The technical solution of the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0032] Example 1 Primer probe design and screening The gene sequences of each pathogenic microorganism were searched in the NCBI database, and the conserved regions of each gene sequence were searched through sequence comparison. Primers and probes were designed for the conserved regions of each gene sequence. Three sets of primer-probe combinations were designed for each pathogenic microorganism. The three designed primer-probe combinations were used to perform PCR amplification on each pathogenic microorganism and the human internal standard. The amplification curve results were as follows: Figure 1 shown.
[0033] The results showed that primer-probe combination 1 had the best amplification effect and was used as the primer-probe combination of the present application.
[0034] The specific information of the primer and probe sequences of the 31 pathogenic microorganisms and human internal standards that were screened are shown in Table 1 below.

[0036] Example 2 Configuration of primer probe working solution 1. Dilution of primers and probes Primer probe powder is diluted to 20 μM with 1×TE Buffer. The calculation method is as follows: Dilute according to the number of nmoles: 1×TE Buffer added to each tube = number of nmoles × 50 (μL); after adding 1×TE Buffer, vortex for about 30 seconds to evenly mix, and briefly centrifuge at low speed.

Other experimental conditions were the same: In the amplification efficiency test, the detection template is the corresponding pathogenic microorganism plasmid in system 7 and system 8. The amplification efficiency results are as follows: Figure 2 In the specificity test, no positive template was added, and sterile nuclease-free water was used instead. The test results are shown in Figure 3 shown.
[0047] Depend on Figure 2 and Figure 3 The results show that there is no significant difference in amplification efficiency between the two PCR detection reagents, but PCR detection reagent 2 has non-specific amplification.

[0053] 3. Sample addition (PCR II room) Add the nucleic acid prepared in 4.1 to reaction systems 1-8 at 5 μL / well. After the addition is completed, transfer to the PCR III chamber for on-machine detection.
[0054] 4On-machine testing (PCR III room) Place the reaction tube in a fluorescent PCR detector and set the PCR reaction program for detection according to Table 11.

[0056] 5 Results Analysis After the reaction is completed, the instrument automatically saves the results. After analyzing the image, adjust the Start value, End value and Threshold value of the Baseline (you can adjust it yourself, the Start value can be between 3-15, and the End value is between 5-20). The Ct value of the HEX / VIC fluorescence channel (human internal standard) of system 3 should be ≤31, otherwise the PCR reaction is considered invalid and needs to be retested. If the above conditions are met, analyze according to the following method: When the Ct value corresponding to each target is ≤ the Cut-Off value and the amplification curve is a typical S-shaped curve, the corresponding pathogenic microorganism is judged to be positive; the corresponding relationship between the fluorescence channel of each reaction system and the detection target is shown in Table 12.
[0057] Table 12 Positive judgment values of pathogenic microorganisms and human internal standards
[0058] Example 5 Testing of detection limit The plasmids of each pathogenic microorganism were selected as simulated samples for the detection limit test. The specific scheme is as follows: the plasmids of each pathogenic microorganism with known copy number were diluted to 200 copies / mL, 100 copies / mL and 50 copies / mL respectively with negative samples, and each plasmid was extracted and tested 20 times repeatedly, and the lowest concentration with a positive detection rate of 95% was taken as the lowest detection limit. The detection results of each pathogenic microorganism are shown in Table 13.

[0060] The results showed that the minimum detection limit of Candida auris, Corynebacterium parvum, Amoeba, Lactobacillus jensenii, and Leptotrichia was 200 copies / mL, and the minimum detection limit of other pathogenic microorganisms was 100 copies / mL. The amplification curves of the minimum detection limit of each pathogenic microorganism and the human internal standard are shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 shown.
[0061] Example 6 Clinical sample detection Four clinical samples were selected: Sample 1, Sample 2, Sample 3, and Sample 4 were tested using the methods of the present invention. The Ct values are shown in Table 14, and the amplification curves are shown in Figures 5 to 8 shown.
