Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of detection, in particular to the field of group B streptococcus detection, and specifically is a group B streptococcus instant detection device based on isothermal amplification and CRSPR / Cas12a technology. Background Art
[0002] Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a major pathogen causing neonatal infections. GBS colonization of the digestive and genitourinary tracts of pregnant women is a major risk factor for early-onset GBS disease (GBS-EOD) in newborns. Approximately 50% of pregnant women with GBS colonization will transmit the bacteria to their newborns. Without prophylactic intravenous antibiotics during delivery, 1% to 2% of newborns will develop GBS-EOD.
[0003] The current "Expert Consensus on Prevention of Perinatal Group B Streptococcal Disease (China)" recommends GBS screening for all pregnant women between 35 and 37 weeks of gestation. Without a vaginal speculum, a swab is taken from the lower third of the vagina. The same swab is then used to obtain a sample from the rectum through the rectal sphincter. Pregnant women with a positive GBS screening test, a history of neonatal GBS, or GBS bacteriuria during the current pregnancy are recommended to receive prophylactic antibiotics for GBS after premature rupture of membranes or entry into labor.
[0004] Clinically, GBS screening results are still not returned at the time of labor. The consensus recommends that if at least one of the following high-risk factors is present: inevitable preterm birth, premature rupture of membranes, rupture of membranes ≥18 hours, or intrapartum fever ≥38°C, broad-spectrum antibiotics that cover GBS are recommended to effectively prevent the occurrence of GBS-EOD. If a more efficient and rapid GBS detection kit is available to better address the issue of GBS results not returning at the time of labor, GBS colonization status can be determined in a very short time. This will help clinical practice prevent GBS infection in newborns while avoiding the overuse of antibiotics, which can lead to toxic side effects, the emergence of drug-resistant pathogens, superinfection or cross-infection, and low immunity.
[0005] Existing detection technologies, such as live bacterial culture, PCR, and qPCR, are time-consuming and unsuitable for on-site detection of Group B Streptococcus. Existing rapid detection methods, such as antigen testing, suffer from inaccuracy, low sensitivity, and high false-positive rates. Overall, existing detection methods are unable to simultaneously provide accurate nucleic acid detection and a user-friendly testing process.
[0006] Current guidelines recommend that standard GBS screening procedures involve placing the swab in non-nutrient transport medium after sampling and sending it for testing within 24 hours. Laboratories should enrich the swab in selective enrichment broth for 18–24 hours, then inoculate it onto blood agar. GBS can be identified using techniques such as latex agglutination, chromogenic culture, DNA probes, or nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT). Enrichment culture can improve GBS detection rates, but the testing time is long and it is only used for screening at 35–37 weeks of gestation. Single-line NAAT is shorter (1–2 hours) and can be used for immediate testing during labor in women who have not undergone GBS screening. However, the lack of enrichment culture reduces sensitivity, resulting in a 7%–10% failure rate. Furthermore, in clinical practice, especially during premature labor, a 1–2 hour testing time cannot guarantee results before fetal delivery. Furthermore, studies have shown that many infants with severe GBS infection are born prematurely before the recommended screening time. Therefore, a more efficient and rapid GBS detection kit is needed to better deal with GBS results that have not been returned at the time of delivery, to clarify the GBS colonization situation in a very short time, to help clinicians prevent neonatal GBS infection while avoiding the abuse of antibiotics, and to avoid toxic and side effects caused by the abuse of antibiotics, the emergence of drug-resistant pathogens, superinfection or cross-infection, and low immunity.
[0007] Currently available clinical methods for detecting Group B Streptococcus within 15 minutes include immunochromatographic assays. This kit is limited to detecting Group B Streptococcus in human vaginal secretion samples. Consensus recommends that vaginal and anal swabs be obtained for GBS testing. GBS extracts need to be improved to more universal secretion extracts capable of extracting GBS from both anal and vaginal secretions. Furthermore, immunochromatographic assays lack amplification, and their lower limit of detection is 10^5 CFU / ml, resulting in poor sensitivity and a high risk of false negatives. Clinically, pregnant women with high-risk factors are currently given antibiotics for infection prevention. Therefore, the sensitivity of the test results should be emphasized in the development of test kits to avoid missed GBS screening in newborns. Summary of the Invention

[0058] The technical features of the present invention are as follows:
[0059] 1. Design of gravity microfluidic chip
[0060] (1) The design of the two reaction chambers, the integrated flow path inside the chip, and the "L"-shaped arrangement of the reaction chambers enable the chip to carry out the reaction process with the help of gravity;
[0061] (2) The fully enclosed microfluidic chip design can avoid aerosol contamination;
[0062] (3) The chip is small and can meet the requirements of high speed;
[0063] 2. Combination of gravity microfluidic chip and nucleic acid isothermal amplification detection system
[0064] (1) Combination of isothermal amplification system and CRISPR / Cas detection system;
[0065] (2) Gravity microfluidics combined with isothermal amplification and CRISPR / Cas detection systems can better empower each other;
[0066] 3. Design of supporting testing equipment
[0067] (1) The arrangement of the internal parts of the entire instant detection device and the relative orientation of the internal parts;
[0068] (2) The optical pathway is embedded inside the device so that the LED light beam is more concentrated in the detection cavity during fluorescence excitation.
[0069] Specific operation process:
[0070] During the specific implementation process, an optical-grade bottom film 111 is used to seal the microfluidic chip 1 for standby use. The sample taken is subjected to preliminary processing (the preliminary processing may include DNA extraction and pathogen nucleic acid release, etc.). The treated sample is mixed with the isothermal amplification system, and the isothermal amplification system and the CRISPR / Cas12a system are dripped into the first inlet 101 and the second inlet 102 respectively with a 15 μL dropper. Use a bottom film (or a sealing material such as transparent tape) to seal the first inlet 101 and the second inlet 102. Open the upper cover 201 of the instant detection device 2, and place the sealed microfluidic chip 1 into the chip slot 203. The chip slot 203 is the same size as the microfluidic chip 1, which can just accommodate the microfluidic chip 1, and make the back of the chip fit tightly with the PTC heating plate 209. Close the upper cover 201. It can be observed through the observation window 208 and the amber filter 204 that, driven by gravity, the liquid at the first inlet 101 and the second inlet 102 flows through the first flow channel 103 and the second flow channel 104, and finally enters the first reaction chamber 107 and the second reaction chamber 108 respectively.
[0071] Turn on switch 211, by first gear, dial second gear, turn on PTC heating plate 209, wait for temperature to rise to setting temperature (according to the different isothermal amplification techniques used, can be adjusted), DNA target is first carried out isothermal amplification in the first reaction chamber 107, Cas12a and crRNA can be combined in advance in the second reaction chamber 108 and obtain optimal trans-cutting temperature preheating in advance.After waiting for 15-40 minutes (according to the different isothermal amplification techniques used, can be adjusted), instant detection device 2 is rotated 90 ° clockwise (the face where amber filter plate 204 is the device front).At this time, chip is in vertical state, and under gravity drive, the reaction system in the first reaction chamber 107, the second reaction chamber 108 passes through the third flow channel 105, the fourth flow channel 106 respectively, and is finally mixed in detection chamber 109.CRISPR / Cas12a proceeds to carry out 5 minutes trans-cutting determination, and Cas12a, under the guidance of crRNA, the amplified product of specific identification, carries out trans-cutting to surrounding fluorescent reporter molecules, and then produces fluorescent signal.
[0072] After the reaction is complete, switch 211 is moved from position 2 to position 3, turning off the PTC heater 209 and turning on the LED light source 205. The LED light source 205 emits blue light in the 460-470 nm wavelength range. This light travels through optical channel 206, through lens 207, and is focused into the detection chamber 109, where it excites the fluorescent reporter molecules and produces a fluorescent signal. The final reaction results can be observed with the naked eye through observation window 208 and amber filter plate 204. Specific embodiment 1:
[0074] The total volume of the CRISPR / Cas12a reaction system was 15 μL, including 100 nM AsCas12a, 200 nM crRNA, 1000 nM DNA reporter, 1 × NEB r3.1 buffer, and 2 U / μL RNase inhibitor;
[0075] The isothermal amplification system (also known as the recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) reaction system) had a total volume of 15 μL, including 1 μL of forward primer (Sangon Biotech), 1 μL of reverse primer (Sangon Biotech), 3.4 μL of template and enzyme-free water (purchased from New England Biolabs, Inc.), 8.85 μL of dehydration reaction buffer (purchased from TwistDx), and 0.75 μL of magnesium acetate (purchased from TwistDx).

[0087] Use the gravity microfluidic chip and supporting detection equipment of the present invention, as well as the specific operation process of the invention.
[0088] Add the sample and the configured RPA reaction reagent to the first inlet 101, add the CRISPR / Cas12a reaction reagent to the second inlet 102, and then use a piece of optical-grade bottom film 111 to seal the first inlet 101 and the second inlet 102. When the microfluidic chip 1 is in a horizontal state, the two reagents will flow into the first reaction chamber 107 and the second reaction chamber 108 respectively under the action of gravity. Under incubation at 37°C, the synthetic cfb gene sequence with a concentration of 100 copies / μL in the first reaction chamber 107 is RPA amplified. In the second reaction chamber 108, Cas12a and crRNA will be pre-combined and pre-heated to the optimal trans-cutting temperature. After rotating the chip 90°, the chip is in a vertical state. Driven by gravity, the two reagents will be mixed in the detection chamber 109, and CRISPR / Cas12a will continue to perform trans-cutting determination for 5 minutes. The specific process is as follows Figure 4 .
[0089] The PTC heating plate 209 can reach 37°C in about 5 minutes, and the temperature remains relatively stable within 30 minutes, fluctuating at 37±0.5°C. Under the stimulation of the LED light source 205, the naked eye can clearly distinguish between positive and negative results. The final reaction result can be observed by the naked eye through the orange filter. The result is as follows Figure 6 .
[0090] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has obvious advantages:
[0091] 1. Existing detection technologies, such as live bacterial culture, PCR, and qPCR, are time-consuming and cannot meet the requirements for on-site detection of Group B Streptococcus. This invention combines isothermal amplification technology with CRISPR / Cas12a to produce results within 40 minutes.
[0092] 2. Existing rapid detection methods, such as antigen detection, have problems such as inaccuracy, insensitivity, and high false positive rates. This invention, by combining isothermal amplification technology with CRISPR / Cas12a, can achieve a sensitive detection accuracy of 1 copy;
[0093] 3. Existing detection methods generally fail to achieve both accurate nucleic acid detection and a user-friendly testing process. The instant detection device provided by the present invention is compact and portable. Operation requires only mixing the treated sample solution with the reaction system and adding it to the chip inlet. After constant temperature incubation, invert the solution and observe the results after thorough mixing.
[0094] In summary: Pregnant women often give birth within 1-2 hours, and the entire process from sampling to GBS test results can be completed at the bedside in as little as 40 minutes. This is simple and acceptable, providing a crucial window for clinicians to confirm a diagnosis, select treatment, and choose the delivery method.
