Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of microbial testing technology, and specifically relates to species-specific molecular targets yclQ, crRNA, CRISPR / Cas12a system, detection method and kit for detecting Campylobacter jejuni. Background Art

[0002] Campylobacter jejuni is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic zoonosis, considered one of the leading causes of bacterial diarrhea in humans worldwide. Some strains can even cause the serious sequelae of Guillain-Barré syndrome. Among foods, Campylobacter jejuni has a relatively high contamination rate in meat and meat products, with poultry meat being the most contaminated. Studies have found that the colonization rate of Campylobacter jejuni in the cecum of broiler chickens is as high as 2.55×10 8 CFU / g. During slaughter and processing, intestinal contents can easily contaminate poultry food. Consuming contaminated poultry food is the primary route of human infection. Campylobacteriosis is highly prevalent and, in the EU and US, is the most common zoonosis, surpassing Salmonella. Therefore, rapid detection of Campylobacter contamination in food is crucial for food safety.

[0003] Currently, Campylobacter jejuni is detected and identified using the national standard GB 4789.9-2014. This method is relatively accurate, but the procedures are complex (pre-enrichment, selective culture, chromogenic culture, and biochemical identification), costly, and identification results can take eight days or even longer. This is extremely detrimental to food safety risk management, especially for ready-to-eat foods. Nucleic acid-based molecular biology detection methods, with their rapidity, accuracy, and simplicity, are becoming one of the most promising technologies to replace traditional detection methods. Literature searches of existing technologies generally use conserved housekeeping genes such as hipO, 16S rDNA, and mapA as detection genes, but these methods lack sensitivity and specificity for some targets. With the development of whole-genome technologies, pan-genome and genome-wide association analyses can now analyze the relationship between phenotypes and genes. Similarly, the classification of different species is also a form of phenotype, and genome-wide association analyses can be used to screen for species-specific targets. The CRISPR-Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromicrepeats, CRISPR-associated proteins) detection system developed based on the Cas12a protein is a new detection method. Using the Cas12a protein under the guidance of crRNA, it will initiate indiscriminate sequence cleavage activity after identifying the matching target sequence, thereby playing a signal enhancement role. After amplifying the target based on conventional PCR or RAA, CRISPR / Cas12a is used to enhance the signal, and the gel electrophoresis step is also avoided. It can be observed with the naked eye under a simple blue light without the need for complex instruments and equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0037] The following examples are provided to further illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0038] Example 1: Mining species-specific molecular targets of Campylobacter jejuni

[0039] The molecular targets specific to Campylobacter jejuni were obtained mainly based on the results of pan-genomic analysis. Using the NCBI database, the common Campylobacter genomes were downloaded and the genomes of common Campylobacter jejuni (232), Campylobacter coli (48), and Campylobacter concise (16) were analyzed ( Figure 1jejuni-specific core genes were screened, resulting in 421 candidate genes for the next step. Further screening using a localized Perl script identified the yclQ molecular detection target.

[0040] Example 2 Verification of Campylobacter jejuni Species-Specific Targets

[0041] Based on the nucleotide sequence of the Campylobacter jejuni species-specific target shown in SEQ ID NO.1, primers SEQ ID NO.5 and SEQ ID NO.6 were designed, and PCR was performed using DNA from Campylobacter jejuni and non-Campylobacter jejuni to verify the specificity of the target. The PCR amplification reaction system was 10 μL, including: 5 μL Taq mix, 0.25 μL each of forward and reverse primers, 0.5 μL DNA template; and 4 μL of sterile double-distilled water. The PCR reaction conditions were: pre-denaturation at 94°C for 5 minutes; denaturation at 94°C for 30 seconds, annealing at 55°C for 30 seconds, and extension at 72°C for 30 seconds, for a total of 35 cycles; and finally extension at 72°C for 5 minutes. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 and 3 As shown, all Campylobacter jejuni can amplify the target band, while all non-Campylobacter jejuni cannot amplify the target band. That is, the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 can be used as a target for Campylobacter jejuni detection.

8. The detection method according to claim 7, characterized in that In step (c), the CRISPR / Cas12a reaction system is 10 μL, including: 0.4 μL fluorescent reporter probe, 0.1 μL Cas12a enzyme, 0.1 μL crRNA, 1 μL 10× Buffer, 1 μL amplification product, and ddH2O is used to supplement it to 10 μL.

9. The detection method according to claim 7, characterized in that In step (c), the CRISPR / Cas12a reaction conditions are: 37°C for 20-30 min.
