Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of in vitro diagnostic reagent technology, specifically to an ultra-rapid detection kit for Salmonella enterica based on a full-process nucleic acid detection chip and its detection method. Background Art

[0002] Salmonella is a common foodborne pathogen. Contaminated raw eggs, egg products, and undercooked meat are the main routes of Salmonella infection in humans. In my country, 70%–80% of foodborne bacterial diseases are caused by Salmonella. Salmonella is an important member of the Enterobacteriaceae family, with 2 species, 42 serogroups, and over 2500 serotypes, of which more than 240 serotypes have been reported in my country. Different serotypes of Salmonella exhibit significantly different invasiveness and pathogenicity; therefore, exploring methods for Salmonella typing is crucial for identifying and controlling diseases caused by it. Even today, enteric Salmonella remains one of the more serious infectious diseases. Therefore, early, rapid, and accurate diagnosis is of great significance for the treatment and prevention of its spread.

[0003] There are three commonly used methods for the etiological diagnosis of enteric Salmonella: culture, serological methods, and PCR. The latter two are the main methods used in clinical practice.

[0004] Traditional methods for detecting Salmonella enterica are no longer sufficient to meet modern testing requirements due to their long testing cycles, complex procedures, and numerous required reagents. Pathogen nucleic acid detection technologies, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), also have practical problems. For example, conventional PCR requires specialized equipment and is prone to cross-contamination and cumbersome procedures. While real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) effectively addresses cross-contamination and simplifies the process, its long testing time makes it unsuitable for rapid on-site testing. Immunological detection technologies are rapid, simple, and inexpensive, but require high-quality, highly stable monoclonal antibodies; otherwise, accuracy is insufficient, limiting them to auxiliary detection methods. Therefore, timely application of the latest advancements in biotechnology is crucial to meeting the ever-increasing demands for pathogen detection. Among these, rapid nucleic acid detection technology based on end-to-end nucleic acid detection chips represents a significant advancement in pathogen nucleic acid detection, and the established end-to-end nucleic acid detection chip technology platform offers numerous advantages.

[0005] Existing patents have reported a method for dual detection of the virulence island genes mgtC and sseL in Salmonella. However, its drawback is that the identification of bacteria should be designed in the variable region, and it does not have the advantage of specificity for designing specific genes. Moreover, the dual targets occupy more fluorescence channels.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a gene detection kit and method for Salmonella enterica that has more comprehensive detection effects, higher specificity, and lower false negative rate. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ultra-rapid detection kit for Salmonella enterica based on a full-process nucleic acid detection chip and its detection method, thereby solving the problems of long detection time, low specificity, low sensitivity and high false negative rate of existing Salmonella enterica gene detection kits.

[0008] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] According to a first aspect of the present invention, an ultra-rapid detection kit for Salmonella enterica based on a full-process nucleic acid detection chip is provided, comprising a rapid hot-start DNA polymerase, a PCR reaction mixture, a positive control, and a negative control, and further comprising the following primers designed using a PCR fluorescent probe method with the V3-V4 region of Salmonella enterica as the target sequence, based on a microfluidic chip technology platform: upstream primer F, downstream primer R, and a detection probe P, wherein the three primers are as follows:

[0010] Upstream primer F: 5'-AAGAAGCACCGGCTAACTCC-3' (SEQ ID NO. 1);

[0011] Downstream primer R: 5'-ACATCCGACTTGACAGACCG-3' (SEQ ID NO. 2);

[0012] Detection probe P: 5'-CTGCGTGCGCTTTAC-3' (SEQ ID NO. 3).

[0013] Preferably, the concentrations of the upstream primer F and the downstream primer R are each 0.4~0.8 μM, and the concentration of the detection probe P is 0.4~0.8 μM; most preferably, the concentrations of the upstream primer F and the downstream primer R are 0.8 μM, and the concentration of the detection probe P is 0.8 μM.

[0014] Preferably, the rapid hot-start DNA polymerase has an enzyme concentration of 0.25 U / μL to 0.5 U / μL, and more preferably an enzyme concentration of 0.25 U / μL.

[0015] Preferably, the PCR reaction mixture contains: 1×PCR Buffer, 0.3125~0.625mM dNTPs, 0.4~0.8μM upstream primer F / downstream primer R, and 0.4~0.8μM detection probe P;

[0016] Preferably, the PCR reaction mixture contains: 1×PCR Buffer, 0.3125mM dNTPs, 0.8μM upstream primer F / downstream primer R, and 0.8μM detection probe P.

[0017] Preferably, the positive control is an enteric Salmonella plasmid.

[0018] Preferably, the negative control is water.

[0019] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a method for detecting Salmonella enterica genes is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0020] (1) DNA was extracted using a pathogen DNA / RNA extraction kit as a sample template;

[0021] (2) A full-process nucleic acid detection chip based on EWOD is provided. The full-process nucleic acid detection chip includes, from bottom to top, a SiO2 support plate, a SiO2 glass, a dielectric layer, a first Teflon hydrophobic layer, a support layer, a second Teflon hydrophobic layer, and an ITO glass layer. A magnetic bead nucleic acid extraction area and a dual-temperature nucleic acid amplification area are formed between the first Teflon hydrophobic layer and the second Teflon hydrophobic layer. The magnetic bead nucleic acid extraction area includes, in sequence, a lysis chamber, a first washing chamber, a second washing chamber, and an elution chamber. The dual-temperature nucleic acid amplification area includes a low-temperature isothermal area and a high-temperature isothermal area. Interdigitated electrodes and EWOD driving electrodes are provided on the SiO2 glass. The interdigitated electrodes are aligned with the lysis chamber to realize the electrolysis of bacterial samples. The EWOD driving electrodes are aligned with the elution chamber and the dual-temperature nucleic acid amplification area.

[0022] (3) Provide the Salmonella enterica gene detection kit as described above, and add 0.2 volumes of rapid hot-start DNA polymerase, 3.8 volumes of PCR reaction mixture, and 8 volumes of sample template DNA to the full-process nucleic acid detection chip; by controlling the EWOD driving electrode to be energized so that its surface is hydrophilic, the droplets circulate in the low temperature isothermal zone and the high temperature isothermal zone to achieve amplification;

[0023] (4) After the reaction is complete, if there is an S-type amplification curve and the Ct value is within the reference range, it is positive; otherwise, it is negative.

[0024] The reaction conditions in step (3) are 95℃ for 50s; 95℃ for 2s, 60℃ for 2s, 45 cycles.

[0025] The rapid nucleic acid detection technology based on a full-process nucleic acid detection chip utilizes a fast-start DNA polymerase and three primers designed according to the target gene sequence (i.e., upstream primer F, downstream primer R, and detection probe P) to specifically identify a specific region on the target sequence and complete the detection rapidly within a few minutes. In the ultrafast reagent system, the concentrations of components in the PCR reaction mixture and the concentration of the fast-start DNA polymerase are both greater than those in traditional PCR reagents, which greatly increases the probability of molecular and ion collisions in the microfluidic chip, and allows amplification and detection to be completed in a short time under the action of the ultrafast amplification enzyme.

[0026] The aforementioned end-to-end nucleic acid detection chip technology platform is described in Chinese Invention Patent CN118956584A, entitled "An End-to-End Nucleic Acid Detection Chip Based on EWOD and Its Application." It should be understood that the relevant content disclosed in Chinese Invention Patent CN118956584A is incorporated herein by reference.

[0027] The end-to-end nucleic acid detection chip comprises, from bottom to top, a SiO2 support plate, SiO2 glass, a dielectric layer, a first Teflon hydrophobic layer, a support layer, a second Teflon hydrophobic layer, and an ITO glass layer. A magnetic bead nucleic acid extraction region and a dual-temperature nucleic acid amplification region are formed between the first and second Teflon hydrophobic layers. The magnetic bead nucleic acid extraction region includes, in sequence, a lysis chamber, a first washing chamber, a second washing chamber, and an elution chamber. The dual-temperature nucleic acid amplification region includes a low-temperature isothermal region and a high-temperature isothermal region. The SiO2 glass is equipped with interdigitated electrodes and an EWOD driving electrode. The interdigitated electrodes are aligned with the lysis chamber to achieve electrolysis of bacterial samples. The EWOD driving electrode is aligned with the elution chamber and the dual-temperature nucleic acid amplification region. By controlling the EWOD driving electrode to be energized, its surface becomes hydrophilic, and droplets circulate within the low-temperature and high-temperature isothermal regions, achieving amplification.

[0028] According to the present invention, the rapid nucleic acid detection technology based on a full-process nucleic acid detection chip utilizes real-time quantitative PCR to detect fluorescence signals on a microfluidic chip, completing the detection within a few minutes under the action of an ultrafast amplification enzyme. This rapid nucleic acid detection technology based on a full-process nucleic acid detection chip overcomes the inherent disadvantages of traditional PCR, such as long detection time, susceptibility to contamination, and high detection cost. The original real-time quantitative PCR detection method suffers from an excessively long detection time, typically around 2 hours. Furthermore, this detection method requires lower technical skills from the testing personnel, is extremely simple to operate, and does not require special reagents or instruments, which is beneficial for establishing a low-cost rapid screening system. The rapid nucleic acid detection technology based on a full-process nucleic acid detection chip is a simple, rapid, and highly specific gene amplification method. Comparing silicon-based microfluidic technology with PCR technology (including real-time quantitative PCR technology), it can be found that this technology is equivalent to or superior to PCR technology in terms of methodological indicators such as sensitivity, specificity, and detection range, significantly reducing detection time, and with lower instrument and detection costs.

[0029] The key inventive points of this invention are as follows: First, a detection system is designed using the V3-V4 variable nucleic acid sequence region of *Salmonella enterica* as the target sequence. The V3-V4 region is a specific variable region of *Salmonella enterica*. Compared to existing designs targeting virulence island genes (such as mgtC and sseL), this approach more accurately ensures the specificity and accuracy of detection, reducing false negatives or cross-reactions caused by insufficient conservation of the target sequence. Second, based on the PCR fluorescent probe method, three specific sequences (SEQ ID NO. 1-3) are designed. These three primers specifically bind to the V3-V4 target sequence, achieving accurate detection through fluorescence signal amplification. Furthermore, concentration optimization (optimal 0.8 μM) further improves reaction efficiency, ensuring a low false negative rate. Thirdly, relying on the full-process nucleic acid detection chip technology platform (based on EWOD microfluidic technology), combined with rapid hot-start DNA polymerase (concentration 0.25~0.5 U / μL) and optimized PCR reaction system (such as dNTPs concentration 0.3125~0.625mM), the detection process is made ultra-fast, with the entire amplification process taking only a dozen minutes (traditional PCR takes more than 2 hours); the reaction conditions are optimized to: 95℃ for 50s pre-denaturation, followed by 45 cycles of 95℃ for 2s / 60℃ for 2s. By shortening the reaction time of each step and the dual-temperature zone design of the microfluidic chip (high temperature isothermal zone and low temperature isothermal zone), the rapid circulation and movement of droplets are achieved, greatly improving efficiency. Fourth, it adopts an EWOD-based full-process nucleic acid detection chip, which integrates a magnetic bead nucleic acid extraction area (lysis chamber, washing chamber, elution chamber) and a dual-temperature nucleic acid amplification area. It achieves electrolysis through interdigital electrodes and controls droplet movement through EWOD-driven electrodes, realizing integrated automated operation of "sample lysis-nucleic acid extraction-amplification detection" without manual intervention, reducing operational complexity and contamination risk.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] 1) The detection kit of the present invention can perform rapid detection of V3-V4 target sequences on a microfluidic chip within ten minutes, while the detection time on other technology platforms is at least 2 hours;

[0032] 2) This invention selects the variable nucleic acid sequence region of Salmonella V3-V4 for primer design and uses three primers to ensure the accuracy and specificity of the detection kit for Salmonella intestinal genes.

[0033] 3) The gene rapid diagnostic kit of the present invention can determine the presence or absence of target substances based on whether there is an S-type amplification curve and whether the Ct value is within the reference range, thus having high specificity;

[0034] 4) The gene rapid diagnostic kit of the present invention is easy to identify and the results can be analyzed by software.

[0035] In summary, this invention provides an enteric Salmonella gene detection kit that offers more comprehensive detection results, higher specificity, better sensitivity, lower false negative rate, and is convenient, simple, and easy to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0072] 1.4 The reaction process of the full-process nucleic acid detection chip rapid nucleic acid detection technology using the kit of Example 1.

[0073] 1.5 Reagent preparation and reaction

[0074] 1.5.1 The reaction was carried out on a 12 μL microfluidic chip. The reaction system was first prepared in a 200 μL PCR reaction tube: 0.2 μL of rapid hot-start DNA polymerase, 3.8 μL of PCR reaction mixture, and 8 μL of sample template DNA.

[0075] 1.5.2 The prepared reaction system reagents were reacted on a microfluidic chip under the following conditions: 95℃ for 50s; 95℃ for 2s, 60℃ for 2s, for 45 cycles. Specifically: First, the test sample was added to the lysis chamber 11, and the test sample was lysed by applying a voltage (AC voltage 30V, frequency 100,000Hz) at a certain frequency to the interdigitated electrode 30. After electrolysis, the magnetic rod 50 controlled the magnetic bead 60 to enter the lysis chamber 11, and the mixture was stirred by moving the magnetic rod 50. Then, the magnetic rod 50 was moved to the elution chamber 14, allowing the magnetic bead to pass through the silicone oil and enter the first washing chamber 12. The above process was repeated to allow the magnetic bead to enter the second washing chamber 13. The EWOD driving electrode 40 below the elution chamber 14 was powered on, and the extraction solution was added to the elution chamber 14. The magnetic rod 50 was controlled to move the magnetic bead 60 to the elution chamber 14 for elution, and then the magnetic rod 50 was controlled again to move the magnetic bead 60 back to the second washing chamber 13. The EWOD driving electrodes were energized to move the reaction reagents in the elution chamber to a 95°C temperature zone for 50 seconds of pre-denaturation. After this, the droplets were cyclically moved between the high-temperature isothermal zone 22 (95°C) and the low-temperature isothermal zone 21 (60°C) by controlling the energization and de-energization of the EWOD driving electrodes. In each cycle, the droplets spent 2 seconds in the high-temperature isothermal zone 22 and 2 seconds in the low-temperature isothermal zone 21. Under these conditions, the droplets moved between the high-temperature isothermal zone 22 and the low-temperature isothermal zone 21 for 45 cycles, with the entire amplification time not exceeding 7 minutes. The movement time of the droplets between adjacent electrodes was set to 500 ms to 1000 ms to ensure stable droplet movement. The fastest droplet movement between electrodes in this invention can reach 100 ms.
