Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular, to the field of nucleic acid amplification technology; specifically, to a primer probe set, a kit and a detection method for detecting diarrheal pathogens in children based on multiplex PCR combined with time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Background Art
[0002] Diarrhea refers to an abnormal increase in stool moisture and stool frequency, usually more than three times a day. Diarrhea is one of the most serious public health problems in the world and a leading cause of death among children. According to the latest data from the World Health Organization (WHO), diarrhea is the third leading cause of death among children under five, killing about 440,000 children under five and another 50,000 children aged 5 to 9 each year. Diarrhea is one of the main causes of illness and death among children in developing countries, and is also one of the main causes of malnutrition, growth retardation and cognitive development disorders among children.
[0003] Infectious diarrhea is a group of intestinal infectious diseases caused by a variety of bacteria and viruses. Accurate detection of diarrhea-related pathogens is of great significance in helping to promptly diagnose and treat children, quickly investigate clusters of diarrhea in children, and monitor and control the spread of infection.
[0004] The current routine detection schemes for diarrhea etiology in clinical laboratories mainly include bacterial isolation and culture and biochemical identification technology of stool samples, as well as pathogen nucleic acid detection technology based on real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Although these methods can provide microbiological evidence for clinical diagnosis, they have dual technical bottlenecks of long detection cycles and few types of detected pathogens. In the epidemic season of childhood diarrhea or in the treatment of sudden clustered cases, the existing detection system is difficult to quickly complete the simultaneous screening of multiple pathogens due to limited throughput and insufficient timeliness, which directly affects the efficiency of infection source tracing and the timeliness of the implementation of prevention and control measures, and may lead to an increased risk of epidemic spread and delays in clinical precision diagnosis and treatment.
[0005] The existing clinical etiological detection methods for childhood diarrhea mainly include the following:
[0006] (1) Immunological tests:
[0007] The most widely used immunological detection technology in clinical practice is the gold-label immunochromatography (gold-label method), which is mainly based on the specific binding of antigens and antibodies and the principle of color reaction to detect pathogen antigens such as rotavirus, norovirus, and Clostridium difficile in the feces of children with diarrhea. However, the gold-label method is affected by factors such as the intensity of the color reaction signal and the load of pathogens. Its sensitivity is lower than that of the conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and it is usually a single pathogen test, which cannot provide a comprehensive diagnosis for children with complex infections.
[0008] (2) Cultivation method:
[0009] The culture method is to identify diarrhea-related bacteria and test their drug resistance through bacterial culture. However, the biggest disadvantage of the culture method is the long detection time. It usually takes several days to obtain the test results, which leads to a delay in the etiological diagnosis of children with acute diarrhea. In addition, the culture method has low sensitivity, and the results are affected by factors such as the use of antimicrobial drugs, pathogen load, and culture medium selectivity, and the manual operation steps are complicated.
[0010] (3) Conventional PCR:
[0011] Reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) are widely used in laboratory diagnosis and research of infectious diarrhea in children, mainly for the identification of single pathogens such as rotavirus and norovirus and differentiation of subtypes. However, these methods can only detect pathogens that are highly suspected clinically, with a single detection target and the possibility of false negatives. In addition, organic solvent residues in the experiment have an inhibitory effect on DNA synthesis, which poses a risk of false negatives.
[0012] (4) High-throughput sequencing:
[0013] High-throughput sequencing is a technology that sequences thousands to billions of DNA fragments simultaneously. High-throughput sequencing (non-targeted sequencing) has the widest coverage, not only can it detect potential pathogens, but also can detect the drug resistance genes of pathogenic bacteria, and even detect mutations in the genetic genes of pathogens. However, high-throughput sequencing should not be used as the first choice in the detection of pathogens of infectious diarrhea in children, because it is easily affected by interfering genes such as humans, intestinal flora and food, and requires reference to more gene sequence data. At the same time, high-throughput sequencing has a long detection cycle and is expensive. It requires the support of platform construction and bioinformatics teams, which is not conducive to large-scale clinical applications. Therefore, high-throughput sequencing is more used in the detection of pathogens or pathogen gene research where the cause is unclear and cultivation is difficult. Summary of the invention
