Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of microbial limit detection, and in particular to a method for detecting the microbial limit of iron sulfide nanozyme. Background Art

[0002] Prior art has discovered that nano-iron sulfide is a nanozyme with PQD-like and CAT-like activity. It can catalyze the oxidation of H₂O₂ and accelerate the release of polysulfide hydrogen, demonstrating high antibacterial efficacy. Considering that the main components of nano-iron sulfide are iron and sulfur, both essential elements for the human body, its use in biological antibacterial treatment is more biosafety-friendly than other metal sulfide nanozymes. As a pharmaceutical, iron sulfide nanozymes have shown promising potential for wound disinfection, treatment of oral ulcers, enteritis, myositis, lung infections, and bacterial keratitis. Given that iron sulfide nanozymes have a strong antibacterial effect, when the adaptability test of the counting culture medium or technical method was checked using the method described in the "2020 Edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia" - Microbial Limit Test for Non-sterile Products: Microbial Counting Method (General Chapter 1105), when polysorbate 80 and egg yolk lecithin were used as neutralizers, it was found that Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger and Escherichia coli all grew well, while Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus could not grow, resulting in the recovery of the two test bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus not meeting the requirements. The above also shows that the antibacterial activity of iron sulfide nanozymes in the test solution prepared by selecting a conventional neutralizer and following the conventional test solution preparation steps cannot be effectively eliminated. In the prior art, there are few reports on the microbial limit detection method of iron sulfide nanozymes. Because iron sulfide nano has broad application prospects as a new type of high-efficiency antibacterial material, it is very necessary to study the microbial limit detection method of iron sulfide nanozymes.

[0105] The recovery test ratios of each test bacteria in the neutralizer control group were also in the range of 0.5 to 2. The recovery test ratios of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger were 0.95, 1.04, 0.93, 0.92 and 0.89, respectively.

[0106] The culture conditions and counting methods in steps S1-S5 are the same as those described in Example 1.

[0107] Example 4

[0108] An embodiment of the present invention provides a microbial limit detection method for iron sulfide nanozyme, which is basically the same as Example 1, except that the volume concentration of polysorbate 80 involved in the above microbial limit detection method is changed from 3% to 4%, and the mass concentration of egg yolk lecithin involved is changed from 0.3% to 0.4%. The other steps and parameters remain unchanged.

[0109] When the applicability of the total aerobic bacterial count method was checked, the recovery test ratios of each test bacteria in the test group were all within the range of 0.5 to 2. The recovery test ratios of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger were 0.95, 1.01, 0.92, 0.95 and 0.94, respectively.

[0110] The recovery test ratios of each test bacteria in the neutralizer control group were also within the range of 0.5 to 2. The recovery test ratios of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger were 0.95, 0.93, 0.87, 0.87 and 0.91, respectively, which were in line with the regulations.

[0111] Comparative Example 1

[0112] Comparative Example 1 of the present invention provides a microbial limit detection method for iron sulfide nanozymes, which is basically the same as Example 1, except that: (1) the pH 7.0 sterile sodium chloride-peptone buffer used in this comparative example does not contain polysorbate 80 and egg yolk lecithin; (2) the tryptic soy agar medium used in this comparative example does not contain polysorbate 80 and egg yolk lecithin; (3) when the aerobic bacterial count method is used for applicability testing, the plate diameter is 90 mm; (4) when the aerobic bacterial count method is used for applicability testing, in step S1, "1:500 test solution" is replaced with "1:20, 1:50, and 1:100 test solution are drawn respectively", and 15 to 20 ml of tryptic soy agar medium is poured; (5) when the aerobic bacterial count method is used for applicability testing, step S5 is not performed. Except for the above differences, the remaining steps and parameters of Comparative Example 1 are the same as those of Example 1.

[0113] During the suitability test of the total aerobic bacterial count method, the recovery test ratio for Staphylococcus aureus was 0.03 at a test solution dilution of 1:20; 0.14 at a test solution dilution of 1:50; and 0.19 at a test solution dilution of 1:100. None of these ratios were within the range of 0.5 to 2, indicating that the heptasulfide nanozyme has strong antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The recovery test ratio for Bacillus subtilis at test solution dilutions of 1:20, 1:50, and 1:100 was 0, indicating that the heptasulfide nanozyme has strong antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis. Therefore, the above test solution preparation method and the 1:20, 1:50, and 1:100 plate method could not be used for method suitability testing.

[0114] Comparative Example 2

[0115] Comparative Example 2 of the present invention provides a microbial limit detection method for iron sulfide nanozymes. This detection method is basically the same as Comparative Example 1, except that: in step 1, the pH 7.0 sterile sodium chloride-peptone buffer used in this comparative example contains 0.5% polysorbate 80 and 0.1% egg yolk lecithin to prepare the test solution; and in the suitability check of the total aerobic bacterial count method - step S1, the test solution prepared by the above method is used. Except for the above differences, the remaining steps and parameters of Comparative Example 2 are the same as those of Comparative Example 1.

[0116] During the applicability check of the total aerobic bacterial count method, it was found that when the test solution dilution was 1:100, the recovery test ratio of Staphylococcus aureus was 0.17; when the test solution dilution was 1:200, the recovery test ratio was 0.29; when the test solution dilution was 1:500, the recovery test ratio was 0.41, all of which were not within the range of 0.5-2, indicating that the heptasulfide iron nanozyme has strong antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, and when the test solution dilution was 1:500, it still could not eliminate the antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. When the dilution ratios of the test solution for Bacillus subtilis were 1:100, 1:200, and 1:500, the recovery test ratios were all 0, indicating that the heptasulfide iron nanozyme had strong antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis. Similarly, when the dilution ratio of the test solution was 1:500, the antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis could not be eliminated. Therefore, this test solution preparation method and the plate method with dilution ratios of 1:100, 1:200, and 1:500 could not be selected for the method applicability test.

[0117] Comparative Example 3

[0118] The microbial limit detection method of the iron sulfide nanozyme provided in Comparative Example 3 of the present invention is basically the same as that in Comparative Example 2, except that the tryptic soy agar medium used in this comparative example contains 3% polysorbate 80 and 0.3% egg yolk lecithin, that is, the tryptic soy agar medium used in Comparative Example 3 is the same as that in Example 1, both containing 3% polysorbate 80 and 0.3% egg yolk lecithin. Except for the above differences, the remaining steps and parameters of Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 2 are the same.

[0119] During the applicability check of the total aerobic bacterial count method in this comparative example, it was found that when the dilution of the test solution was 1:100, the recovery test ratio of Staphylococcus aureus was 0.39; when the dilution of the test solution was 1:200, the recovery test ratio was 0.68; when the dilution of the test solution was 1:500, the recovery test ratio was 0.77. The recovery rate of heptasulfide iron nanozyme for Staphylococcus aureus was in the range of 0.5 to 2 when the dilution of the test solution was 1:200, which has met the requirements of the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and complies with the regulations. However, when the dilution of the test solution was 1:200, the recovery test ratio of Bacillus subtilis was only 0.08; when the dilution of the test solution was 1:500, the recovery test ratio was 0.45. The recovery rate of the heptasulfide iron nanozyme for Bacillus subtilis still did not reach the range of 0.5-2 when the dilution of the test solution was 1:500. According to the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, it did not comply with the regulations. Therefore, the above test solution preparation method and the plate method with dilutions of 1:100, 1:200, and 1:500 could not be selected for method applicability testing.

[0120] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
