Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and particularly to a method and kit for rapid detection of nucleic acids of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Background Art
[0002] Staphylococcus aureus, also known as Staphylococcus aureus or staphylococci, usually inhabits the human skin and can be found in the nasal cavities of about 25-30% of adults. When Staphylococcus aureus inhabits the human epidermis, it neither harms the host nor causes clinical symptoms. However, when there are wounds on the host's skin surface or during surgical operations, or when the body's own immunity is low, the inhabiting Staphylococcus aureus can cause infections. Staphylococci often cause local skin infections such as folliculitis, boils, and pustules, and can also lead to abscesses and spread to bone tissue (osteomyelitis), lungs (staphylococcal pneumonia), blood (bacteremia or sepsis), heart (endocarditis, which can damage heart valves), and other organs. Staphylococci can infect others by contacting the skin of patients or hosts or sharing contaminated utensils such as towels, razors, etc.
[0003] At present, the main bacteriological examination methods for Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus are the drug susceptibility tests for Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Xpert MTB / RIF, fluorescence quantitative PCR melting curve method, and whole-genome sequencing method. The drug susceptibility test is still the "gold standard" for diagnosing Staphylococcus aureus and its methicillin resistance in many countries. However, since such tests take an excessively long time, usually more than twelve hours to produce results, it is not conducive to the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases. In addition, Xpert MTB / RIF and the fluorescence quantitative PCR melting curve method require specific instruments, have high sample requirements, average sensitivity, and expensive detection costs. The whole-genome sequencing method is time-consuming, has high requirements for instruments and equipment, high sample requirements, and high costs, and is not yet popular in most regions. This has brought great limitations to the clinical diagnosis of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Due to the lack of rapid and sensitive detection methods, a large number of patients with Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus diseases have not received timely and regular treatment, which has led to more serious bacterial infections. The delay in diagnosis is the main cause of death caused by Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections. Detecting Staphylococcus aureus and its methicillin resistance as soon as possible can effectively prevent the further deterioration of the infection. Therefore, early, rapid, and sensitive detection methods are particularly important. As a necessary condition for blocking the infection, the early diagnosis of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus urgently requires us to find more sensitive, specific, and cost-effective clinical detection methods for Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, in order to eliminate the bacterial infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus as early as possible through early detection, early diagnosis, and further targeted standardized treatment.
[0004] CRISPR-Cas (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, CRISPRs) is an adaptive immune system in bacteria. The Cas protein specifically binds to foreign nucleic acids under the guidance of a guide RNA complementary to the foreign nucleic acid, and then uses its nuclease activity to specifically cleave the foreign nucleic acid. Among them, CRISPR-Cas12a (Cpf1) belongs to the second family of Cas enzymes and can specifically cleave double-stranded DNA under the guidance of a guide RNA. The Cpf1 enzyme recognizes the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) rich in thymine (T) nucleotides and cleaves the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) complementary to the crRNA under the guidance of the CRISPR RNA (crRNA). When the Cas12a protein specifically recognizes and cleaves the target double-stranded DNA, it can induce a powerful non-specific single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) trans-cleavage activity, which can randomly cleave the surrounding non-specific single-stranded DNA.
[0005] Based on the above characteristics of Cas12a, it is expected to be applied to the construction of rapid detection methods for Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, but no publicly reliable scheme has been seen yet. Summary of the Invention
