Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of water sample processing, and specifically relates to a method and device for evaluating the risk of pathogens in flowing waters based on machine learning analysis of optical intensity data. Background Art
[0002] As water pollution becomes increasingly serious, pathogen monitoring and risk assessment in flowing waters have become an important topic in the field of public health. At present, there are a variety of technical means for detecting pathogens in water bodies, including culture method, PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technology, ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), etc. These methods have made significant progress in identifying pathogens in water samples and can provide relatively accurate results. The culture method can effectively cultivate active pathogens through appropriate culture media and conditions; PCR technology uses the principles of molecular biology to quickly detect the presence of pathogens by amplifying specific DNA or RNA sequences. In addition, ELISA technology uses the specific reaction of antibodies and antigens to quantitatively detect the concentration of pathogens in water samples in a relatively short time. These existing technologies provide a basis for the monitoring of pathogens in flowing waters.
[0003] However, the existing technology still has some shortcomings in practical applications. First, although the traditional culture method can identify active pathogens from water samples, it takes a long time to obtain results, which is difficult to meet the needs of rapid detection. Although molecular detection methods such as PCR have high sensitivity, they often rely on prior knowledge of specific pathogen sequences, so pathogens of unknown types cannot be effectively detected. In addition, pathogens in flowing waters may exist in different growth forms, including adherent growth and suspended growth. Water sample processing is difficult, and existing technologies are difficult to fully assess their risks. Finally, the existing water sample processing methods involve a large number of manual operations, which are inefficient and easily affected by the skill level of the operator. Therefore, the development of a method and device for assessing the risk of pathogens in flowing waters based on machine learning will be able to achieve efficient and accurate assessment of pathogens in flowing waters, which has important practical significance.

During the process of enriching bacteria, the excess filtrate in the enrichment tank enters the water tank through the second water outlet, and can be reused when cleaning the water sample processing mechanism, thereby reducing the loss of water resources required for the cleaning medium. The present invention adjusts the position of the storage dish through a shifting mechanism, which facilitates the injection of the test bacterial solution and the buffer solution into a plurality of storage dishes arranged side by side. After the incubation of the test bacterial solution is completed, the shifting mechanism can also oscillate the storage dish, so that the fluorescent probe reagent in the storage dish passes through the third filter membrane from the bacteria storage chamber into the probe collection chamber, thereby avoiding the adverse effects of excess fluorescent probes on the evaluation and analysis results.

The device also includes a data acquisition module 4 for collecting optical intensity data of the bacterial liquid to be tested in the storage dishes 1, and a data processing module for analyzing the risk of pathogens based on optical intensity data and a machine learning algorithm model. The machine learning algorithm model is constructed before assessing the risk of pathogens in flowing waters. When constructing the machine learning algorithm model, the pathogens are cultured or filtered and enriched, and the pathogens are incubated by a probe reagent containing a fluorescent probe, and then the light intensity data of the pathogens are collected multiple times by the data acquisition module 4 to form a data set for model training. The random forest algorithm model is trained by the data set to obtain the machine learning algorithm model required for this application.
[0021] The above-mentioned pathogens can be a single pathogen or multiple pathogens. For example, pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas maltophilia, Staphylococcus aureus, etc. can be used as pathogens for model training. In addition, the preparation of the above-mentioned fluorescent probe is a prior art and will not be described in detail. For details, please refer to the Chinese patent document with publication number CN114032086B. The liquid supply pipe system 2 of this embodiment includes a water pump 21 and a sampling tube 23 connected to the water inlet of the water pump 21. The water sample processing mechanism 3 includes a primary centrifugal filter assembly 31 and a secondary centrifugal filter assembly 32 connected to the water outlet of the water pump 21, and an assembly frame 33 for installing the primary centrifugal filter assembly 31 and the secondary centrifugal filter assembly 32.

In addition, in the case of limited equipment resources, the afterglow luminescence intensity data or fluorescence intensity data of the bacterial solution to be tested can also be collected only by the afterglow acquisition module 41 or the fluorescence acquisition module 42. Correspondingly, the machine learning algorithm model used at this time is an algorithm model formed by training the afterglow luminescence intensity data or fluorescence intensity data of the pathogenic bacteria for model training.
[0023] When analyzing and evaluating the pathogenic bacteria risk in flowing waters, water samples are first extracted and processed. When extracting water samples, start the water pump 21, and the water pump 21 extracts water samples from the flowing waters through the sampling tube 23. The sampling end of the sampling tube 23 is provided with a screen, which is used to filter out large particles of impurities and other debris. After the water sample passes through the water pump 21, it first enters the primary centrifugal filter component 31, and undergoes a centrifugal filtration to form sewage with small particles of impurities and the filtrate of the primary centrifugal filter component 31. The filtrate of the primary centrifugal filter component 31 enters the secondary centrifugal filter component 32 under the water pressure of the water pump 21, and undergoes a secondary centrifugal filtration to form a bacterial solution to be tested and a filtrate of the secondary centrifugal filter component 32. The secondary centrifugal filtration is continued for a period of time to achieve bacterial enrichment of the bacterial solution to be tested, and complete the treatment of the water sample. Afterwards, the bacterial solution to be tested in the secondary centrifugal filter assembly 32 is sequentially injected into a plurality of storage dishes 1, and the operator adds a probe reagent containing a fluorescent probe into the storage dish 1, so that the bacterial solution to be tested is incubated for a period of time under the action of the probe reagent. After the incubation is completed, the storage dish 1 is sequentially placed in the afterglow acquisition module 41 and the fluorescence acquisition module 42, and the afterglow acquisition module 41 and the fluorescence acquisition module 42 respectively collect the afterglow luminescence intensity data and the fluorescence intensity data of the bacterial solution to be tested, and send the afterglow luminescence intensity data and the fluorescence intensity data to the data processing module, which is connected to a display, and the data processing module calls a machine learning algorithm model to evaluate and analyze the above data to determine whether there are pathogens in the bacterial solution to be tested. If it is determined that there are no pathogens, the relevant content of the risk of no pathogens in the flowing water area is presented on the display. If it is determined that there are pathogens, the type of pathogens and the corresponding pathogen risk are presented on the display. Afterwards, the bacterial solution in the storage dish 1 can be removed, and the pathogen risk analysis and evaluation of the flowing water area can be performed multiple times according to the above process.

The rear end of the three-way valve 325 is connected to the sewage treatment equipment 8, and the sewage treatment equipment 8 receives and processes the remaining bacterial liquid in the enrichment tank 321 during the process of cleaning the water sample processing mechanism 3.
[0027] During the process of enriching the bacterial solution to be tested by the secondary centrifugal filter assembly 32, the filtrate of the primary centrifugal filter assembly 31 enters the inner side of the second filter membrane 324 from the upper end of the enrichment tank 321, and the filtrate of the primary centrifugal filter assembly 31 is centrifugally filtered by rotating the discharge pipe 322, the second frame 323 and the second filter membrane 324 through the second driving member 327. During the enrichment process, the upper end of the three-way valve 325 remains closed, and the filtrate of the secondary centrifugal filter assembly 32 is discharged from the second water outlet 328. The bacterial solution to be tested is formed in the second filter membrane 324, and bacteria are continuously enriched.

During the enrichment process, the last working state of the multi-way valve 22 is the state in which the second channel 224 connects the water pump 21 and the dosing tube 24, so that after the bacterial solution to be tested is added to the storage dish 1, a certain amount of buffer solution is present in the enrichment tank 321. The buffer solution is preferably PBS buffer solution, and its main component is Na 2 HPO 4 , KH 2 PO 4 , NaCl and KCl.

[0034] Example 2
[0035] This embodiment relates to a method for assessing pathogen risk in flowing waters based on machine learning.

After the incubation of the bacterial solution to be tested is completed, the bacterial solution to be tested is washed with a buffer solution. During the process of enriching bacteria, the liquid supply pipe system 2 alternately extracts water from the flowing water area and the buffer storage tank 5, and uses the buffer solution to replace the water in the secondary centrifugal filter assembly 32 to maintain the cell stability of the bacterial solution to be tested.
[0036] Step S2, placing the storage dish 1 containing the incubated bacterial solution to be tested into the data acquisition module 4, the data acquisition module 4 irradiates the bacterial solution to be tested in the storage dish 1, and collects the optical intensity data of the bacterial solution to be tested. When preparing to place the storage dish 1 into the data acquisition module 4, the cleaning medium can be pumped into the water sample processing mechanism 3 through the liquid supply pipe system 2 to clean the water sample processing mechanism 3. The water sample processing mechanism 3 can also be cleaned in subsequent processes. The cleaning medium comes from the water tank 6, and the water tank 6 is also used to recover the filtrate of the secondary centrifugal filter assembly 32.
[0037] Step S3, the data processing module receives the optical intensity data collected by the data acquisition module 4, and the optical intensity data includes afterglow luminescence intensity data and fluorescence intensity data. The afterglow luminescence intensity data is collected by the small animal living imager, and the fluorescence intensity data is collected by the microplate reader. Based on the optical intensity data and the machine learning algorithm model, it is judged whether there are pathogens in the bacterial solution to be tested, and the pathogen risk is analyzed according to the judgment result.
