Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical devices, and more specifically, to a POCT detection device for in vitro diagnosis of pathogens. Background Art
[0002] Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the main pathogen causing neonatal infection. GBS colonization in the digestive tract and urogenital tract of pregnant women is the main risk factor for early-onset GBS disease (GBS-EOD) in newborns. About 50% of pregnant women colonized with GBS will transmit the bacteria to their newborns. If prophylactic intravenous antibiotics are not used during delivery, 1% to 2% of newborns will develop GBS-EOD. 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.
[0003] Single-line NAAT is short (1-2 hours) and can be used for immediate testing during labor for pregnant women who have not undergone GBS screening. However, the sensitivity of conventional NAAT methods represented by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is still insufficient. In the absence of bacterial culture, the detection failure rate is 7% to 10%. More importantly, qPCR usually requires 1 hour of nucleic acid extraction and 1.5-2 hours of thermal cycling nucleic acid amplification. In clinical practice, especially in the case of premature labor, the detection time still cannot guarantee the results before the fetus is delivered.
[0004] When using LAMP detection technology alone for GBS screening, since dyes are used as the color development method for the final test results, the results of LAMP can only be interpreted as amplification or non-amplification. Once non-specific amplification occurs, it is difficult to distinguish. And due to the particularity of its primer design, it has low applicability and strong sensitivity, and is particularly prone to forming aerosols, causing false positives that affect the test results. When using a single CRISPR detection technology for GBS screening, since the samples to be tested are not amplified by nucleic acid, the detection sensitivity is reduced, there may be off-target effects, resulting in false detection and missed detection, and the detection time will also be prolonged. Only by combining the two reasonably can the best detection effect be achieved. In addition, studies have shown that many infants with severe GBS infection are premature before the recommended screening time, and there are higher requirements for rapid bedside determination. 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, clarify the GBS colonization situation in a very short time (1h), help clinically prevent neonatal GBS infection, and avoid toxic and side effects caused by the abuse of antibiotics, the emergence of drug-resistant pathogens, superinfection or cross-infection, and low immunity.

[0062] Example 3
[0063] The method for rapid detection of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) using the detection device of Example 1 in combination with the kit of Example 2 is as follows:
[0064] (1) Sample collection and nucleic acid release
[0065] Fold the collected standard vaginal and rectal swabs from the parturient into 500 μL B group cocci DNA rapid release solution, and shake them manually or on a vortex shaker for 2 minutes. In the alkaline environment provided by sodium hydroxide, SDS and Tween 20 are used as surfactants to lyse the bacteria and release the internal DNA, completely lysing and releasing the DNA.
[0066] (2) LAMP nucleic acid amplification reaction
[0067] Take 1 μL of the sample DNA released from the previous step, add 5 μL of 1×LAMP mixture and 4 μL of enzyme-free sterile water, put into the centrifuge to mix the system, open the top cover 102 of the detection device, put the system mixed ep tube into the test tube hole of the test tube rack 104, put the top cover 102 back and connect it to the main body 101 through the neodymium magnet 103, turn on the constant temperature incubation switch 105, the PTC resistance value in the heating film increases with the increase of temperature, and the current is controlled by the signal fed back by the temperature sensor, thereby adjusting the heat generated by the internal resistance of the heating film to keep the heating film at a constant temperature of 60°C. Incubate at 60°C for 30 minutes, and under the action of the chain displacement DNA polymerase (Bst DNA polymerase), the gene template, primer, dNTPS, etc. complete the LAMP reaction to achieve nucleic acid amplification.
[0068] (4) CRISPR detection reaction
[0069] Prepare 2×CRISPR / Cas12b mixed solution, add 10μL2×CRISPR / Cas12b mixed solution to the LAMP reaction product, put it into the centrifuge to mix the system, open the top cover 102 of the detection device, put the system mixing ep tube into the hole of the test tube rack 104, put the top cover 102 back and connect it to the main body 101 through the neodymium magnet 103, turn on the constant temperature incubation switch 105, the PTC resistance value in the heating film increases with the increase of temperature, and the current is controlled by the signal feedback from the temperature sensor, thereby adjusting the heat generated by the internal resistance of the heating film to keep the heating film at a constant temperature of 60°C. Incubate at 60°C for 10 minutes, crRNA and Cas12b protein form a complex, crRNA binds to the target sequence, stimulates Cas12b enzyme activity, and cuts the target sequence and ssDNA reporter molecules.
[0070] (5) Interpretation of test results
[0071] When Cas12b recognizes the target DNA sequence by combining with crRNA, the trans-cleavage activity is activated, cutting the ssDNA reporter molecule, causing the fluorescent group to separate from the quenching group and emit fluorescence. After the CRISPR reaction ends, turn on the fluorescence analysis switch 106, the LED light source 204 emits a blue light source, and the 203- lens focuses the light and evenly distributes it in the inner cavity of the whole device, stimulating the CRISPR reaction system to emit green fluorescence, and the filter 201 filters the blue light excitation light of 470nm. If it is green, it is detected by group B streptococcus (GBS) through the filter 201, and if there is no fluorescence, group B streptococcus (GBS) is not detected.
[0072] Example 4
[0073] The method for rapid detection of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) using the kit of Example 2 alone is as follows
[0074] (1) Sample collection and nucleic acid release
[0075] Fold the collected standard vaginal and rectal swabs from the parturient into 500 μL B group cocci DNA rapid release solution, and shake them manually or on a vortex shaker for 2 minutes. In the alkaline environment provided by sodium hydroxide, SDS and Tween 20 are used as surfactants to lyse the bacteria and release the internal DNA, completely lysing and releasing the DNA.
[0076] (2) LAMP nucleic acid amplification reaction

Incubate at 60°C for 10 minutes, crRNA and Cas12b protein form a complex, crRNA binds to the target sequence, stimulates Cas12b enzyme activity, and cuts the target sequence and ssDNA reporter molecules.
[0080] (5) Interpretation of test results
[0081] When Cas12b recognizes the target DNA sequence by binding to crRNA, the trans-cleavage activity is activated, cutting the ssDNA reporter molecule, causing the fluorescent group to separate from the quenching group and emit fluorescence. After the CRISPR reaction is completed, the reaction system is illuminated with an LED light with a wavelength of 460-470nm in a dark environment to stimulate the CRISPR reaction system to emit green fluorescence, and the reaction system is observed through a filter. If it is green, Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is detected, and if there is no fluorescence, Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is not detected.
[0082] Embodiment 5:
[0083] The obstetric-specific rapid group B streptococcus (GBS) detection method, kit and detection device of the present invention were compared with the traditional one-step LAMP-CRISPR detection method.
[0084] Methods / test indicators Detection time Sensitivity Portability The present invention 40min 1copy / μL high One-step 60min 100-1000copy / μL Low
[0085] Example 6 Buffer Test
[0086] The feasibility of different buffers was tested. The synthetic GBS cfb sequence was tested. After 40 minutes of LAMP amplification, the CRISPR / Cas12b trans-cleavage assay was performed. In the system using NEB r3.1 buffer, the samples containing the cfb sequence showed a clear positive signal, and the 1× NEB r3.1 buffer performed best.
[0087] Example 7 System Optimization
[0088] L-proline, as a chemical additive, has been reported to protect the activity of Cas12a. As expected, the addition of L-proline (P>0.01) enhanced the measured signal (P>0.05). BSA has been reported as a signal enhancer for CRISPR / Cas detection buffer, but the BSA in NEB buffer is currently replaced by human serum albumin. We found that, still, the addition of BSA significantly enhanced the trans-cleavage signal of CRISPR / Cas12b (P>0.001).
[0089] Example 8 Sensitivity Test
[0090] Use from 10 5 to 10 -1 copis / μL of continuously diluted samples, we tested the Lod of the system (device in Example 1 + kit in Example 2). The detection limit of the system can reach 1copy / μL, which can meet the clinical demand for sensitive detection of group B streptococci.
[0091] Example 9 Detection time
[0092] The minimum LAMP amplification time was tested. After 20 minutes of LAMP amplification of a DNA sample with 100 copies / μL, signal saturation was observed. For DNA samples with a concentration of 10 copies / μL, the LAMP amplification time needs to be extended to 30 minutes. Therefore, the entire detection time can be controlled within 40 minutes.
[0093] Example 9 Testing of the Extraction-Free Method
[0094] The feasibility of the extraction-free method was tested using 5 clinically confirmed samples and 3 healthy samples. All GBS confirmed samples produced positive signals under this method, while healthy samples showed negative signals, indicating the feasibility of the extraction-free method.
[0095] In the past, when the gold standard was used for analysis, it often took a long time to determine the species and mutations. However, when the present invention was used for analysis, it only took less than 1 hour to complete the automatic sample analysis reading, which not only greatly improved the detection efficiency, but also greatly reduced the cost of use. Moreover, the present invention is small in size and easy to carry, making it an ideal tool for point-of-care settings such as hospital admission screening.
[0096] The parts not involved in the present invention are the same as the prior art or can be implemented by using the prior art.
