Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of mycobacterium detection, and specifically relates to a multiplex PCR detection kit and method for differentiating Mycobacterium bovis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Mycobacterium avium. Background Art

[0002] Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium bovis, a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). Human tuberculosis is mainly caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, 3% - 10% of cases are caused by Mycobacterium bovis. Animal tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis has been found in multiple hosts, including domestic and wild animals, which may become new sources of infection and promote the continuous transmission of the pathogen. Due to the global distribution of this pathogen, it has been reported that significant economic losses have been caused to livestock production systems worldwide, and wildlife conservation efforts have also been negatively affected. More importantly, human tuberculosis cases caused by Mycobacterium bovis infection are becoming increasingly common, attracting great attention globally. In 2023, there were 10.8 million tuberculosis cases and 1.25 million deaths due to tuberculosis worldwide. Although most of these cases are caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, approximately 142,000 new cases and 12,500 deaths are caused by Mycobacterium bovis. Mycobacterium bovis is called "zoonotic tuberculosis", and due to the lack of reporting in endemic countries and limited laboratory capabilities, the number of human Mycobacterium bovis cases may be higher.

[0003] Mycobacterium bovis has 99.95% genomic similarity with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes great difficulties in clinically differentiating the two bacteria. The tuberculin intradermal hypersensitivity test measures delayed-type hypersensitivity by intradermal injection of purified protein derivative of PPD. However, when tested after receiving the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, the skin test usually shows positive. Therefore, additional tests are needed to determine whether a person has active Mycobacterium tuberculosis disease and its specific mycobacterium. The interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) is usually used to distinguish BCG vaccination from infection. After an IGRA positive result, it can be confirmed that the patient has been infected, but it cannot determine whether the patient is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Mycobacterium bovis. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a detection method that can distinguish the two as a supplementary test for clinical diagnosis. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to find target genes through pan-genome analysis to provide a multiplex PCR detection method that can distinguish Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium bovis, and Mycobacterium avium, so as to achieve the identification of clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium bovis, and Mycobacterium avium, and provide a reference for the diagnosis of tuberculosis.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

Detailed implementation methods

[0052] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments described below are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. For the following embodiments, those without specific technologies or conditions noted are carried out according to the technologies or conditions described in the literature in the field or according to the product specifications; for the reagents or instruments without the manufacturer noted, they are all conventional products that can be obtained through commercial purchases.

[0053] Example 1

[0054] This example provides a primer set for detecting mycobacteria. For primer sets, how to design multiplex primers so that they are not easily formed into dimers and hairpin structures, have a uniform Tm value, appropriate primer length and GC content, are conducive to obtaining high-quality amplification products and preventing the detection results of amplification primers for different genes from interfering with each other, making the detection results accurate and reliable is one of the difficult problems that those skilled in the art urgently need to solve. The method for obtaining the primer set of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0055] (1) Extract the gene sequence using Tbtools software according to the gene ID number.

[0056] (2) Use snapgene software and primerpremier 6.0 to design primer sequences for the reference sequence, and obtain 1 pair of specific primer sequences for the sense strand and antisense strand of each gene. After the primer design is completed, each primer is subjected to Primer-BLAST on the NCBI website to ensure the specificity of the primer. The primer sequences are shown in Table 1.

[0058]

[0059]

[0060] Example 2

[0061] This example provides a genomic DNA extraction protocol for mycobacteria. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0062] (1) For inactivated Mycobacterium bovis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium, use the Bacterial Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (product number DP302) of Tiangen Biochemical Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. to extract bacterial genomic DNA according to its operation steps.

[0063] (3) Store the extracted bacterial genomic DNA at -20 °C for later use.

[0064] Example 3

[0065] Based on the primer set provided in Example 1, this example provides a reagent for mycobacterium detection, including:

[0066] (1) The primer set shown in Table 1.

[0067] (2) dNTP (10 mM), 10×PCR Buffer (Mg 2+ free), 25 mM MgCl2, rTaq enzyme.

[0068] (3) Negative control product, nuclease-free water.

[0069] (4) A mixed plasmid containing the genomes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium bovis, and Mycobacterium avium is used as the positive control product.

[0070] Example 4

[0071] Based on the primer set in Example 1, this example provides a single PCR amplification reaction system for mycobacterium detection to verify the feasibility of the primers, and the primer combinations are optimized by the orthogonal test method. The best combination is selected as the initial duplex PCR, and the remaining 2 primer pairs (the initial concentration of each primer is 0.4 μM) are added to the duplex combination to form a triplex PCR. Then the best triplex PCR is selected, and the remaining one primer pair is added to form a quadruplex PCR. The specific reaction system is shown in Table 2.

[0072] (1) After vortexing and briefly centrifuging the prepared reaction system, place it in a PCR instrument and run the program: pre-denaturation at 94°C for 3 min, denaturation at 94°C for 20 s, annealing at 58°C for 30 s, extension at 72°C for 30 s, for a total of 30 cycles, and then extension at 72°C for 10 min.

[0073] (2) After the PCR amplification is completed, take 5 μL of the PCR product and perform electrophoresis on a 1% agarose gel at 150 V for 25 min, and place it in a gel imaging system to observe the results. The results are as Figure 1 shown, and the primers provided by the present invention can specifically amplify the specific genes of mycobacteria.

[0074] (3) The single - PCR amplification of primer group_16810 - F1 / R1 was unsuccessful. Non - specific amplification occurred in the single - PCR of primer group_16810 - F2 / R2. Through orthogonal experiments, it was found that primers 16sRNA - F / R and group_16810 - F / R were the best combination. However, the combination of primer group_16810 - F3 / R3 and 16sRNA - F / R was unsuccessful (no two bands of 575bp and 145bp appeared, only a 575bp band appeared), and the combinations of group - 32724 - F1 / R1 and group - 32724 - F2 / R2 with 16sRNA - F / R and group_16810 - F / R were unsuccessful (only two bands of 575bp and 360bp appeared). Therefore, four pairs of primers with successful combination and specific amplification were finally selected for condition optimization.
