Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a Lactobacillus crispatus MYT-LC01 and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The vaginal microbiota of healthy women is dominated by lactobacilli, which play a key role in maintaining the balance of vaginal microecology. Among Chinese women, common dominant lactobacilli include Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus gasseri and Lactobacillus jensenii. Lactobacillus protects vaginal health through multiple mechanisms:

[0003] (1) Producing lactic acid: Lactobacillus can use glycogen in the vagina to produce lactic acid, maintaining a low pH environment in the vagina (usually between 3.8 and 4.5); this low pH environment is not conducive to the growth of most pathogenic bacteria, thereby effectively preventing the invasion and reproduction of pathogenic bacteria;

[0004] (2) Produce antibacterial substances: Lactobacillus can also produce antibacterial substances such as hydrogen peroxide and bacteriocins, which can directly inhibit or kill pathogens and further enhance the defense ability of the vagina;

[0005] (3) Competitive exclusion: Lactobacillus competitively adsorbs epithelial cells, preventing the adhesion and colonization of other microorganisms, thereby reducing the chance of infection by pathogens; this competitive exclusion mechanism helps maintain the stability of the vaginal microbiome;

[0006] (4) Immune regulation: Lactobacillus can also regulate the host's immune response, enhance local immunity, and resist the invasion of pathogens.

[0007] However, due to various factors (such as antibiotic use, hormone changes, bad living habits, etc.), the balance of vaginal microecology may be disrupted, resulting in a decrease in the number of lactobacilli, thereby increasing the risk of gynecological diseases such as vulvovaginal candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis, candidal infection, etc. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to develop a product that can effectively supplement and restore the balance of vaginal lactobacilli.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Isolation and identification of Lactobacillus crispatus MYT-LC01

[0037] 1. Sample collection

[0038] Insert the cotton swab about 5 cm (2 inches) into the vaginal opening of a healthy female. Gently rotate the cotton swab for about 30 seconds to ensure that the cotton swab is in full contact with the vaginal wall. Pull out the cotton swab without touching the skin. Place the cotton swab head at the mouth of the sampling tube, forming an angle of about 45 degrees with the tube wall. Gently break the stem of the cotton swab to allow the cotton head to fall into the tube.

[0039] 2. Strain Isolation

[0040] The strains attached to the cotton head were separated by anaerobic lactic acid bacteria culture medium (MRS), pH 6.2-6.6, 37°C, anaerobic static culture for 2-3 days, and 4 single colonies were isolated, one of which was named MYT-LC01 and identified.

[0041] 3. Culture of strain MYT-LC01

[0042] (1) Preparation of slant: Prepare anaerobic MRS solid culture medium, quantitatively dispense it into test tubes, and solidify it into a slant. The volume of culture medium poured into the test tube should be about 1 / 4, and the length of the slant should not exceed half of the test tube. Generally, a 15×150 mm test tube with a capacity of 5 ml is used.

[0043] (2) Inoculation: The prepared slant was subjected to a sterility test. The strain MYT-LC01 was inoculated only after it was confirmed to be sterile. The slant was cultured anaerobically at 37°C for 2 to 3 days.

[0044] 4. Identification of strain MYT-LC01

[0045] (1) Determination of 16S rDNA sequence (bacterial species identification)

After grinding, place in a 1.5 ml centrifuge tube, add 400 μl Buffer gP1, vortex for 1 min, and place in a 65°C water bath for 10 to 30 min. During this period, you can take out and mix by inversion to fully lyse;

[0049] ③ Add 150 μl Buffer gP2, vortex for 1 min, and place on ice for 5 min;

[0050] ④ Centrifuge at 12000rpm / min for 5min and transfer the supernatant to a new centrifuge tube;

[0051] ⑤ Add an equal volume of anhydrous ethanol to the supernatant, immediately shake and mix thoroughly, transfer all the liquid into the Spin Column, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm / min for 30 seconds, and discard the waste liquid;

[0052] ⑥ Add 500 μl Buffer Pw (anhydrous ethanol has been added before use) to the Spin Column, centrifuge at 12000 rpm / min for 30 seconds, and discard the waste liquid;

[0053] ⑦ Add 500 μl Wash Buffer (anhydrous ethanol has been added before use) to the Spin Column, centrifuge at 12000 rpm / min for 30 seconds, and discard the waste liquid;

[0054] ⑧Repeat step 7;

[0055] ⑨Put the Spin Column back into the Collection Tube, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm / min for 2 min, and open the lid to dry for 1 min;

[0056] ⑩Take out the Spin Column and place it in a clean centrifuge tube. Add 50-100 μl TE Buffer (preheated TE Buffer at 65°C) to the center of the adsorption membrane. Incubate at 20-25°C for 2 minutes. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm / min for 2 minutes to obtain bacterial DNA.

[0073] Example 2

[0074] Antibacterial effect detection of Lactobacillus crispatus MYT-LC01

[0075] 1. Methods:

[0076] Lactobacillus crispatus MYT-LC01 antagonistic detection: The double-layer plate method detects the antagonistic effect of Lactobacillus crispatus MYT-LC01 on vaginal harmful strains (Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli). The lower layer of the double-layer plate is an agar nutrient medium with an agar content of 1.5%, and the upper layer is a soft agar medium with an agar content of 0.5%. The vaginal harmful bacteria and the soft agar medium are mixed according to a volume ratio of 1:100 and cultured overnight. After the plate is solidified and the surface is dried, a 1ml gun tip is used to punch holes, and Lactobacillus crispatus MYT-LC01 is inoculated. According to the size of the inhibition zone, the inhibitory effect of the strain on the vaginal harmful bacteria is observed. At the same time, the remaining 3 single colonies obtained by separation in Example 1 are selected as controls for antagonistic detection, and are named strain No. 1, strain No. 2 and strain No. 3 respectively.

[0077] (2) Results:

[0078] The results are shown in Table 5 and Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown, the larger the inhibition zone, the more obvious the antibacterial effect. The results showed that all four strains of bacteria had a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of harmful vaginal bacteria, among which Lactobacillus crispatus MYT-LC01 had the most obvious antibacterial effect.

[0080]

[0081]

[0082] Note: strains 1 to 3 are strains obtained simultaneously when screening Lactobacillus crispatus MYT-LC01.

[0083] Lactobacillus crispatus MYT-LC01 has an antagonistic effect on vaginal-related harmful bacteria (Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli). It can be seen that Lactobacillus crispatus MYT-LC01 and its related products can treat or prevent gynecological diseases (vulvovaginal candidiasis, vulvar folliculitis, bacterial vaginitis, cervicitis, and urinary tract infection) caused by the above-mentioned strains.

[0084] Example 3

[0085] Preparation of Lactobacillus crispatus fermentation agent

[0086] A single colony of Lactobacillus crispatus MYT-LC01 was selected and placed in MRS liquid culture medium. After culturing at 37°C for 48 hours, a fermentation agent of Lactobacillus crispatus MYT-LC01 was obtained. The concentration of Lactobacillus crispatus MYT-LC01 was 10 8 ~10 12 CFU / mL.

[0087] According to actual conditions, Lactobacillus crispatus MYT-LC01 or Lactobacillus crispatus fermented bacteria can be used to prepare antibacterial agents for inhibiting the growth of harmful vaginal bacteria, and further prepared drugs for treating or preventing gynecological diseases, which are used to treat or prevent gynecological diseases caused by the above strains.
