Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pathogenic microorganism detection, and in particular to a rapid detection method for Salmonella based on a LAMP-CRISPR / Cas12a system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Salmonella is a major foodborne pathogenic bacteria. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it causes about 1.35 million people to be infected with Salmonella in the United States every year, and more than 100 million people worldwide every year. After people eat food contaminated with Salmonella, they will have symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, dizziness, and high fever, not only acute gastroenteritis, but also systemic infection, which can cause the human body to have decreased immunity and repeated infections. At the same time, Salmonella can also cause livestock and poultry to become ill, and Salmonella can also contaminate livestock and poultry products to cause human poisoning and a series of diseases. As a very harmful foodborne bacteria, the detection result of Salmonella has become an important indicator of whether food safety detection is qualified. Therefore, in order to ensure food safety and efficient production of the livestock industry, it is necessary to establish a rapid, accurate and efficient method for detecting Salmonella.

[0003] The national standard GB 29921-2021 "National Food Safety Standard Limit of Pathogenic Bacteria in Prepackaged Food" stipulates that the content of Salmonella in meat products, aquatic products, instant egg products and other foods is 0. The detection steps of the national standard GB 4789.4-2016 "National Food Safety Standard Food Microbiological Examination Salmonella Examination" are complex, in addition, there are bacterial culture identification, gene detection, immunological detection and other methods. However, these detection methods cannot obtain the detection results in a timely manner. Nowadays, the commonly used methods for detecting Salmonella are qPCR and Insulated Isothermal PCR (iiPCR). qPCR uses fluorescence signals to monitor the PCR process in real time, and finally, the unknown template is quantitatively analyzed by a standard curve. iiPCR is based on the Rayleigh-Benard convection principle, and by constantly heating the liquid at the bottom of the reaction tube, the temperature difference between the upper and lower liquids is generated, the rate of heat dissipation and the time of convection are controlled, and a stable temperature gradient is formed in the reaction tube, thereby providing the reaction conditions required for PCR amplification. Awang et al. used electrochemical sensing to detect Salmonella. This system combines immunological techniques, molecular techniques, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, optical phenotype methods, and biosensor methods. Although these research methods have improved the detection rate, they are time-consuming, costly, and require precise instruments, and cannot be truly popularized, which is not suitable for emergency situations.

[0004] LAMP was invented by Japanese scholar Notomi, under the action of DNA polymerase, with 4-6 pairs of primers, at 60-65℃, the target gene is amplified, and then the amplification results are tested by agarose gel electrophoresis. Compared with traditional PCR, the reaction rate is fast, which can be completed in 45-60 min. The method is low in cost and easy to use, which can be completed without special technical personnel and expensive instruments. The method has high detection sensitivity, compared with ordinary PCR, the sensitivity can be improved by 10000 times. The latest technology based on LAMP reaction-cyclic medium thermal amplification, through the use of DNA polymerase, under isothermal conditions, high specificity, high efficiency of DNA amplification. Suitable for on-site detection in emergency situations. Usually, the detection methods of LAMP amplification products include agarose gel electrophoresis, turbidity detection method, color determination method. Color determination method. The commonly used color developing agent has two categories: metal ion indicator (calcein, hydroxyl naphthol blue and combination of the two) and nucleic acid dye indicator (SYBR Green I, GeneFinder and iodinated propidium). Under the condition of limited detection site, it is the most ideal to be independent of expensive instruments or not to need any instruments. At the same time, the naked eye can accurately determine the result. But the primer design of LAMP, the amount of primer added in the system, reaction temperature, reaction time, enzyme, buffer and other factors are not in the optimal condition, which may lead to false positive, and the above method can not exclude the existence of false positive, which has a negative impact on the accuracy of the test results.

[0005] The CRISPR / Cas system is an acquired immune system developed by bacteria during evolution to defend against the transfer of exogenous plasmids and the invasion of bacteriophages. In 2015, scientist Feng Zhang discovered a CRISPR effector protein, Cas12a. This protein is an RNA-guided DNA-cutting nuclease that, after binding to target DNA, can cis-cleave the target DNA and trans-cleave non-target single-stranded DNA. This system exhibits high sensitivity and specificity and is widely used for the detection of double-stranded or single-stranded DNA. CRISPR / Cas12a-based platforms can be used for rapid and visualized nucleic acid detection and are widely applied in the field of nucleic acid molecular diagnostics. The CRISPR / Cas12a system can detect the presence of pathogenic microorganisms, such as Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes. After diluting the DNA of various pathogens tenfold and performing PCR amplification, the reaction products were used as targets in the Cas12a fluorescent detection system. Results showed that the detection sensitivity could reach up to 10 copies / µL, and each primer and DNA could only specifically participate in the detection reaction of the target bacteria. The CRISPR / Cas12a system has limited inherent detection sensitivity and typically requires combination with nucleic acid amplifiers, PCR, or isothermal amplification techniques. LAMP, with its very high sensitivity, can enhance the detection sensitivity of the CRISPR / Cas12a system when combined with it. Furthermore, secondary detection via Cas12a digestion can eliminate false positives associated with LAMP. Combining these two methods allows for a high level of sensitivity and specificity in Salmonella detection. Summary of the Invention

[0015] (5) Fluorescent visual detection, mix the LAMP amplification product, Cas12a, fluorescent probe, target sgRNA, and NEB Buffer 2.1, incubate for 10-30 min, and visually detect the sample under blue light or ultraviolet light to qualitatively detect Salmonella.

[0016] Further, the sample genome extraction in step (1) is a heat lysis method, which does not require additional kits and takes 17-27 min to obtain DNA.

[0017] Further, the sgRNA designed in step (2) is designed for the pathogenic gene SipB sequence and the PAM sequence (TTTN) of Salmonella, and 10 sgRNAs are designed; the nucleotide sequence of the sgRNA is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1-10, the sgRNA is obtained by in vitro transcription and purification or direct synthesis, and the sgRNA is obtained by the method including but not limited to the above method.

[0020] Further, the method for constructing the pMD19T-SipB vector in step (4) is as follows: using the genomic DNA extracted in step (1) as a template and the PCR primers designed in step (2) for amplification, recovering the PCR product by agarose gel electrophoresis, connecting the pMD-19T cloning vector, transforming into the competent cells of Escherichia coli, picking the positive single clone liquid for sequencing, expanding the culture of the bacterial liquid with completely correct sequence to obtain the pMD19T-SipB vector as a template for subsequent sensitivity detection; the annealing temperature of the PCR amplification is preferably 59℃.

[0025] The present application shows through multiple experiments of negative controls that if the agarose gel result of the LAMP amplification product presents a positive result, the Cas12a enzyme cutting secondary detection of the sample will not produce fluorescence, and the secondary detection result can effectively avoid the false positive produced by LAMP amplification.

[0026] The time consumption of each step of the sample detection of the present application has been optimized, which is respectively: 17 min for processing the sample and extracting DNA, 20 min for LAMP amplification, 15 min for Cas12a enzyme cutting, and the total time consumption is 52 min.
