A method of detecting colorectal cancer tumor cell-associated microorganisms

ActiveCN117737190BFecesSingle cell suspension
This invention relates to a method for detecting colorectal cancer tumor cell-associated microorganisms, specifically a method for eliminating intestinal fecal microbial contamination and detecting colorectal cancer tumor-associated microorganisms, belonging to the field of biotechnology. This invention initially eliminates fecal microbial contamination from the sample structure by coarsely shearing and enzymatically digesting the intestinal folds and villi; then, it uses a 40μm cell sieve to filter out incompletely digested tissue fragments, further eliminating intestinal fecal bacteria contamination, and collecting a single-cell suspension; subsequently, the collected single-cell suspension is repeatedly washed with 300g centrifugation to remove as many intercellular or loosely bound "transient bacteria" as possible, retaining intracellular and firmly colonized microorganisms. Ultimately, this eliminates the severe contamination from the large and complex fecal microorganisms, allowing the detection of tumor cell-associated microorganisms, which are already present in low biomass.
