Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biological detection, and particularly relates to a primer set, a kit and a method for rapidly detecting Rhizomucor and Rhizopus. Background Art

[0002] Mucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection caused by fungi of the order Mucorales, which are widely found in the natural environment, such as soil and decaying organic matter. Mucor infections enter the body through inhalation of spores, wound infections, etc., and are more likely to cause invasive infections in immunocompromised patients, mainly affecting immunocompromised patients. In recent years, the incidence of mucormycosis has been on the rise worldwide, especially in patients with diabetes, hematological tumors, and organ transplant recipients. In recent years, an increasing trend of mucormycosis has also been observed in infected people (especially diabetic patients). Mucormycosis infections progress rapidly and have a high mortality rate, so rapid and accurate clinical detection is crucial.

[0003] The early symptoms of mucormycosis are usually non-specific, such as fever and dyspnea, which increases the difficulty of clinical detection. The diagnosis of mucormycosis generally relies on the following methods: (1) Direct microscopy: Observe fungal spores and hyphae structures from clinical specimens (such as tissues or secretions), which show characteristic broad, non-septate fungal hyphae structures under the microscope. This method is quick, but it relies on microscopic observation techniques and has low sensitivity, especially for low-concentration infections. (2) Culture detection: Clinical samples are cultured for fungi and the isolated strains are identified. Mucor grows rapidly on culture media, but is easily contaminated by other strains or bacteria. In addition, this method is time-consuming and usually requires several days to culture and isolate Mucor. (3) Histopathological testing: Obtain infected tissue samples through biopsy or surgery and perform pathological analysis. This method can confirm mucormycosis, but it is more damaging to the patient and requires professional pathological equipment and technology. (4) Serological testing: Serological testing has limited application in the diagnosis of mucormycosis. Although some antigen tests (such as GM tests) are relatively mature in the diagnosis of aspergillosis, there is a lack of specific antigens in mucormycosis, so the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of serological tests for mucormycosis are not high. (5) Molecular biological methods: For example, PCR amplification of Mucor-specific DNA sequences can greatly improve the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis. However, due to the large number and diversity of Mucor species, the molecular markers for different strains may be different, resulting in limited applicability of molecular testing. However, these methods have the following characteristics: (1) Long diagnostic time, such as existing culture and pathological detection methods usually take several days or even longer, which may delay treatment. (2) Low sensitivity: Direct microscopy and serological testing have low sensitivity, especially in the early stages of infection or low bacterial concentrations, and are difficult to detect accurately. (3) Poor specificity: Molecular testing is not very specific.

[0004] There is still a lack of research on specific markers for different Mucor strains, which may lead to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis when the infection sources are diverse (4). It is difficult to meet the diversity of Mucor species: some molecular biological methods and pathological tests require multiple times to cover one to a few extremely limited Mucor species, which increases the cost of clinical applications and other limitations.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the need for short diagnosis time, high sensitivity / specificity and wide coverage of Mucor species for Mucor pathogen detection, the present invention provides a multiplex fluorescent PCR primer, kit and detection method for detecting multiple Mucor species. Only four pairs of primer set probes are used for fluorescent PCR to comprehensively detect the common Mucor species including Rhizomucor microsporus, Rhizomucor microsporus and Rhizomucor and Rhizopus. The method is simple to operate, greatly saves time, reagents and costs, and can quickly and effectively detect common species in Mucor at one time and has the advantages of high sensitivity and specificity.
