Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of molecular biology detection, and in particular to a composition of multiplex PCR primers and probes for detecting microorganisms, a kit and a method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Most cosmetics contain rich nutrients, which are suitable for the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and are very likely to cause microbial contamination. Excessive microbial contamination in cosmetics poses a potential safety hazard to consumers, so the detection of cosmetic microorganisms is an important indicator for measuring the quality of cosmetics.

[0003] Traditional agar plate culture combined with biochemical identification is the gold standard for cosmetic microbial testing. However, the traditional method faces many defects: microbial isolation and culture takes a long time, and biochemical testing also relies on microbial growth reactions, so the testing cycle is long, usually taking 4-5 days; a large amount of solid and liquid culture media must be prepared during the process, which is cumbersome; the operation is complicated; and the biochemical reagents are expensive.

[0004] Molecular biological technologies such as multiplex PCR and real-time fluorescence quantification based on PCR technology are being promoted in the cosmetic microbial detection market due to their good specificity, high sensitivity and rapid detection. However, the detection throughput of the above technologies is still limited, and at most 6 microorganisms can be detected simultaneously. In addition, multiplex PCR relies on gel electrophoresis detection, which is time-consuming and has limited reliability. The DNA stain used in the detection has potential hazards to the environment and human body.

[0005] Biological DNA chips or second-generation sequencing can also achieve the goal of detecting ten types of microorganisms at the same time, but the detection cost is high.

[0006] The development of technology for rapid and simultaneous detection of more than six types of microorganisms will make cosmetic microbial testing more convenient and provide better technical support for the biosafety of cosmetics. This is a technical problem that needs to be urgently addressed in this field. Summary of the invention

[0071] Test Example

The experimental operation schematic diagram is as Figure 1 shown, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0073] I. Nucleic acid purification

[0086] Table 5

[0087]

[0088] The SAP reaction conditions are shown in Table 6.

[0089] Table 6

[0090]

[0091] IV. Single-base Extension Reaction

[0092] Take out the single-base extension reaction reagent in the nucleic acid mass spectrometry general reagent from -20°C and melt it at room temperature. After the SAP reaction is completed, set up the PCR single-base extension reaction system. The single-base extension reaction system is shown in Table 7.

[0095] The single-base extension reaction conditions are shown in Table 8.

[0096] Table 8

[0097]

[0098] V. Mass Spectrometry Detection

[0099] (1) Resin Purification

[0100] 1. Add resin purification solution: Vortex and mix the resin purification solution in the nucleic acid mass spectrometry general reagent, and add 18 μL to each reaction; since the resin tends to settle, vortex and mix it again every 5 seconds.

[0101] 2. Purification: Place the sample in a shaker and mix at 20 rpm for 30 min.

[0102] 3. Centrifugation: After completion, centrifuge at 2000 rpm for 1 min, and the supernatant is ready for testing.

[0103] (2) Spotting

[0104] Take out the matrix in the nucleic acid mass spectrometry general reagent, add 0.5 μL of the matrix dropwise in the middle of the well of the supporting target plate, wait for at least 20 min, and after thorough drying, add 0.7 μL of the supernatant, wait for at least 20 min, and after thorough drying and crystallization, perform the measurement on the machine.

[0105] Test Results:

[0106] Use the primer and probe composition in Example 1 to detect the DNA and DNA mixed samples of various strain cultures, and at the same time compare the test results with the sequencing results of the "gold standard". The positive controls for various strains (the positive control is the test result of the DNA sample of the detected bacteria) are as Figure 2-11 shown, Figure 2 which is the nucleic acid mass spectrometry diagram of Staphylococcus aureus, the positive control of the present invention; Figure 3 which is the nucleic acid mass spectrometry diagram of Salmonella, the positive control of the present invention; Figure 4 which is the nucleic acid mass spectrometry diagram of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the positive control of the present invention; Figure 5The nucleic acid mass spectrometry diagram of Clostridium tetani, which is the positive control of the present invention; Figure 6 The nucleic acid mass spectrometry diagram of Citrobacter freundii, which is the positive control of the present invention; Figure 7 The nucleic acid mass spectrometry diagram of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, which is the positive control of the present invention; Figure 8 The nucleic acid mass spectrometry diagram of Burkholderia cepacia, which is the positive control of the present invention; Figure 9 The nucleic acid mass spectrometry diagram of Klebsiella pneumoniae, which is the positive control of the present invention; Figure 10 The nucleic acid mass spectrometry diagram of Candida albicans, which is the positive control of the present invention; Figure 11 The nucleic acid mass spectrometry diagram of Escherichia coli, which is the positive control of the present invention; The results show that the extension efficiency of the extension primers of the corresponding strain nucleic acid mass spectrometry is greater than 90% (greater than 20% is judged as positive), and the nucleic acid mass spectrometry detection result is completely consistent with the sequencing result, which can prove the reliable accuracy of the results of the present invention. Using the primer and probe composition in Example 1 to co-amplify the DNA templates of ten microorganisms and detect the nucleic acid mass spectrometry diagram as Figure 12 shown. The results show that multiple microbial probes can be extended. It overcomes the compatibility of 10 primers and effectively amplifies the R & D difficulty of ten target DNAs.

[0107] The replaced B.cep-0F / B.cep-0R primers in Comparative Example 1 are ineffective in the extension of multiplex PCR amplification. When B.cep-0F / B.cep-0R is mixed with the other nine pairs of microbial primers for amplification, the probe of Burkholderia cepacia cannot be extended. The nucleic acid mass spectrometry diagram detected after B.cep-0F / B.cep-0R is mixed with the other nine pairs of microbial primers for amplification is as Figure 13 shown. It is speculated that this pair of primers may not be compatible with the other nine pairs of primers.

[0108] The replaced single-base extension primer in Comparative Example 2 has a low extension efficiency in the extension of multiplex PCR amplification. When the extension primer Salm-0Probe is mixed with the other microbial extension primers, the peak intensity after the extension of this extension primer is significantly lower than that of the other extension primers. The nucleic acid mass spectrometry diagram detected after the extension primer Salm-0Probe is mixed with the other microbial extension primers for extension is as Figure 14 shown. Since there are strains of seven microorganisms in the initial stage of the kit R & D, this figure is the extension detection results of seven microorganisms, namely Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Citrobacter freundii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Candida albicans, and Escherichia coli. After replacing the probe with Salm-Probe in Example 1, the peak intensity is similar to that of the other extension primers after extension. The peak intensity of some extension primers is not enough, less than 50% of that of the other extension primers, and continuous debugging is required. This is also one of the difficulties in the R & D of the nucleic acid mass spectrometry multiplex microbial detection kit.
