Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of molecular biology detection, specifically involving a triple qPCR system for comprehensively evaluating the toxin-producing ability of Bacillus cereus and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Bacillus cereus ( Bacillus cereus Bacillus cereus is a foodborne opportunistic pathogen widely distributed in the natural environment. When it contaminates food, it can produce vomitoxin and various enterotoxins, causing vomiting or diarrhea-type food poisoning, and in severe cases, liver damage or even death. With the rapid development of the food industry and changes in consumer habits, Bacillus cereus contamination incidents are frequent, becoming a major concern in the global food safety field.
[0003] The core pathogenicity of Bacillus cereus lies in the various toxins it produces, including cereulide, which induces vomiting, and non-hemolytic enterotoxins (Nhe) and hemolytic enterotoxins (Hbl), which cause diarrhea. The synthesis of these toxins is regulated by specific gene clusters, and some key virulence genes that have been identified include: the key gene encoding cereulide. cesB Key genes encoding Hbl hblD Key genes encoding Nhe nheB Furthermore, these three virulence genes are highly conserved in Bacillus cereus. Therefore, by detecting these virulence genes, the toxin-producing capacity of the strain can be accurately assessed.
[0004] Currently, the detection of Bacillus cereus mainly relies on traditional isolation and culture methods, which take several days and cannot distinguish between toxin-producing and non-toxin-producing strains. Existing molecular biology methods, such as conventional PCR, can detect virulence genes, but suffer from low sensitivity, inability to quantify, and poor accuracy. Therefore, there is a lack of rapid and accurate screening technologies for detecting the toxin-producing capacity of Bacillus cereus, resulting in a lack of effective technical support for assessing its toxin-producing ability.
[0005] Therefore, developing a detection technology system capable of comprehensively assessing the toxin-producing capacity of Bacillus cereus is of great significance for rapidly assessing food poisoning risks, guiding production process control, and improving food safety standards. This invention aims to address the aforementioned technical challenges by designing a specific primer and probe set and establishing a real-time quantitative qPCR system to achieve simultaneous, rapid, and accurate detection of key virulence genes in Bacillus cereus. This effectively assesses the toxin-producing capacity of Bacillus cereus, providing technical support and an application foundation for the prevention and control of foodborne diseases.

[0046] The following disclosure provides many different implementations or examples of different ways to achieve the present invention.
[0047] Example 1: Design of specific primers and probes for key virulence genes in Bacillus cereus.
[0048] Bioinformatics analysis was performed based on the whole genome DNA sequences of *Bacillus cereus* from the GenBank database and our team's own sequencing. Key genes in each virulence gene cluster were selected, and primers and probes were designed using Primer 3. The specificity of the designed primers and probes across all bacterial species was confirmed using the Primer BLAST tool on the NCBI website. While adhering to primer and probe design principles, the amplified fragments were ensured to be within 200 bp. After a series of preliminary screenings and validations, the optimal primers and probes were determined, as detailed in Table 1.

[0050] Example 2: Preparation of positive control plasmid for key virulence genes in Bacillus cereus
[0051] (1) Target strain selection: Bacillus cereus ATCC14579 is widely used as a positive control strain for Bacillus cereus detection because it contains nheB and hblDGenes were used to target this strain for the two virulence genes; Bacillus cereus F4810 (also Bacillus cereus F4810 / 72, identical to Bacillus cereus NCTC 11143) was widely used as a positive control strain for Bacillus cereus vomitoxin detection because it contains cesB Genes, using this strain as cesB The target strain of the gene.
[0052] (2) Construction of virulence gene plasmid
[0053] DNA extraction: DNA was extracted from activated Bacillus cereus ATCC14579 and F4810 using a DNA extraction kit.
[0054] Target fragment amplification and vector linearization: Three virulence gene target fragments and the linearized vector pUC19 were amplified using primers listed in Table 7. The amplification system and procedure are shown in Tables 2 and 3. The purified DNA fragments were recovered using an agarose gel DNA recovery kit. The DNA concentration was measured using a nucleic acid concentration analyzer and stored at -20°C.
[0055] Recombination of target fragment and linearized vector: Amount used per fragment = 0.02 × number of fragment bases in ng. The reaction system is shown in Table 4. It was prepared on ice. After preparation, the system was mixed and centrifuged to the bottom of the tube. The tube was then placed in a PCR instrument and reacted at 50°C for 50 min. After the reaction was completed, the recombinant product was placed on ice to cool for 5 min to prevent the temperature from being too high and reducing the transformation efficiency of competent cells.
[0056] Transformation: Thaw competent cells on ice, add the recombinant product to competent cells and mix gently. Incubate on ice for 30 min, then heat shock at 42°C for 90 s, incubate on ice for 2 min, add 900 μL LB liquid medium, and recover in a shaker at 37°C and 200 rpm for 1 h. After recovery, 5000 samples were transferred to the appropriate volume. g Centrifuge for 3 min, remove 900 μL of supernatant, resuspend the bacterial cells in the remaining culture medium, spread on a 100 mg / L ampicillin-resistant plate, and incubate upside down at 37°C overnight.
[0057] Cloning identification: Multiple single colonies were randomly selected and colony PCR was performed using the vector identification primer pairs in Table 7 to identify positive clones. Single colonies from the antibody-resistant plate were dipped into the PCR reaction system and mixed thoroughly. A PCR system without template was used as a quality control. The PCR reaction system and procedure are shown in Tables 5 and 6. Agarose gel electrophoresis was performed at 120 V for 25 min to detect the amplified products. The appearance of a band of 3944 bp indicated successful recombination. Figure 1Single colonies that successfully recombined were picked and placed in 3 mL of ampicillin-resistant LB liquid medium and incubated overnight at 37°C and 200 rpm. The bacterial culture was then subjected to first-generation sequencing using vector identification primers to determine whether the plasmid was successfully constructed.
[0058] Plasmid extraction: Extract the constructed plasmid using a plasmid extraction kit and store at -20℃ for later use.

All obtained DNA samples are stored at -20 ℃ for later use.
[0069] (2) qPCR detection: Three sets of qPCR primers and their corresponding probes were used for detection. The DNA obtained in (1) was used as a template, and qPCR amplification was performed using the primers and probes described in Example 1. Fluorescent signals were collected.
[0070] The components of the qPCR reaction system are: 10 μL 2 × qPCR Mix, 0.6 μL forward and reverse primers with an initial concentration of 20 μmol / L, 0.4 μL TaqMan probe with an initial concentration of 10 μmol / L, 2 μL template, and 6.4 μL DEPC water.
[0071] The qPCR amplification reaction program is as follows: the fluorescence channel is set to temperature control; the program is set to 94 ℃ for 60 s, with 40 cycles including 95 ℃ for 20 s, 57 ℃ for 20 s, and 72 ℃ for 30 s; the fluorescence channels of the qPCR instrument are set as follows: channel 1 is FAM, channel 2 is ROX, and channel 3 is VIC; the qPCR instrument automatically collects fluorescence signals in the set fluorescence channels after each cycle.
[0072] (3) Result determination: Based on the fluorescence signal and Ct value collected in (2), determine whether the sample contains one or more of the three virulence genes. When the Ct value is >35 or the system determines it to be negative, the result is determined to be negative.
[0073] Example 4: Construction and optimization of triple qPCR system
[0074] (1) Construction of a single qPCR system: Genomic DNA of the extracted target strains (Bacillus cereus ATCC14579, F4810) was used as a positive control template, and DEPC water was used as a blank control. qPCR reactions were performed using the corresponding primers and probes (refer to the qPCR reaction system and qPCR amplification reaction procedure in Example 3) to preliminarily demonstrate that the designed primer and probe set can detect the corresponding fluorescence after the set procedure.

The reaction procedure for qPCR amplification was followed as described in Example 3 to demonstrate that the designed primer and probe set could detect three fluorescences simultaneously without interference or non-specific binding.Figure 5 ).
[0076] (3) Triple qPCR system optimization: First, the single qPCR detection system was optimized by selecting primers with different final concentrations (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 μmol / L concentration gradients) and probes with concentration gradients (0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25 μmol / L concentration gradients) and performing single-factor optimization experiments (Tables 8-9). Based on the single qPCR method, appropriate primer and probe concentrations were selected and combined, taking into account the cycle threshold (Ct) and fluorescence signal value (Rn) of the amplification curve, so that the three key virulence genes could be detected simultaneously in a single tube system, and finally, the appropriate concentration was selected (Table 10).
